Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Joliet

Average gross rent is $2,669, 109% above the Joliet average. The voucher gap is 51.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Against Will County at 40.4%, 28% of renters here are cost-burdened.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 1.0 points below the Will County average of 4.2.

On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 13% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
