Joliet Eviction Risk: Lower

Average gross rent is $1,646, 29% above the Joliet average. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10.

On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 3/10. It sits 0.6 points below the Will County average of 4.2.

That is riskier than roughly 33% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 14% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.5 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 42% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $105,789.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
