Oakton Run Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,764 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Oakton Run is a one-tract neighborhood of Joliet, IL, population 4,764. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Average gross rent is $2,858, 124% above the Joliet average of $1,276.

The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 62.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.4/10.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. roughly one in three of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. That places it #10 of 11 neighborhoods in Joliet.

At 10% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Cherry Hill and Kendall Ridge.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $141,750.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
