Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Plainfield
Cost burden runs 54% here against 40.4% across Will County. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10.
It sits 1.2 points below the Will County average of 4.2. Food insecurity runs 7.8% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 5.6% against 15.2% nationally.
Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 3.1/10. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 3% of units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
