Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Romeoville

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10. On the high side, supply constraint reads 8.2/10.

Average gross rent is $2,333, 24% above the Romeoville average. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.4/10.

That is riskier than roughly 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 3.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 39% of renters.

It tracks the Will County average of 4.2 closely. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $118,134.

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.
