Mayfair spans 2 census tracts of Joliet, IL and houses 10,773 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. 8% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well under the Joliet rate of 31.3%.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.4/10. The voucher gap is 22.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. On the high side is supply constraint at 7.3/10.
At $1,472 a month, rents sit 15% over what the rest of Joliet commands. The severe-burden share is 8%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Joliet, it ranks #9 by risk, the lower third. At 4% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.5 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 3.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
