Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Romeoville

Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.4/10.

Average gross rent is $1,302, 31% below the Romeoville average. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.3/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.4/10.

Food insecurity runs 10.0% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 8.1% against 15.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 6% 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 3.9/10.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, 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.

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.
