Raynor Park spans 6 census tracts of Joliet, IL and houses 21,282 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Cost burden runs 39% against 31.3% citywide, putting Raynor Park 8.1% over its own city. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.6/10. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. SNAP participation is 24.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 17.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
That places it #5 of 11 neighborhoods in Joliet. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 6 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.5 points apart at the extremes.
Average gross rent runs $1,271, close to the Joliet average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $65,110.
47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 5.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
