Forest Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

29.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

19.0% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. That places it #3 of 11 neighborhoods in Joliet.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Raynor Park and Ridgewood. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.

Average gross rent runs $1,274, close to the Joliet average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $55,773.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
