Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mokena

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.2/10. Against the Will County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points.

Food insecurity runs 7.7% against 17.8% nationally. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.8/10. SNAP participation runs 6.6% against 15.2% nationally.

On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.8/10. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 18% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing 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.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 42% of renters.

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