Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Romeoville

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.4/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.3/10.

Cost burden runs 47% here against 40.4% across Will County. The voucher gap is 12.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 20% 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. Social vulnerability reads 5.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. 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. Average gross rent is $1,982, close to the Romeoville average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $89,875.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
