Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Romeoville
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.3/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Average gross rent is $1,641, 13% below the Romeoville average. That is riskier than roughly 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 4% 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 4.2/10. 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. It tracks the Will County average of 4.2 closely. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $101,537.
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.
