Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Joliet

At $2,222 a month, rents run 74% over what the rest of Joliet commands. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 2/10.

The voucher gap is 26.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2/10. Running hot, supply constraint reads 7.6/10.

That is riskier than roughly 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 7% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.9/10.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 37% of renters. It tracks the Will County average of 4.2 closely.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $104,375.

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