Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Romeoville
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 27.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.3/10.
Running hot, supply constraint reads 7.7/10. Average gross rent is $2,238, 19% above the Romeoville average. That is riskier than roughly 42% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 17% 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 1.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Will County average of 4.2 closely. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $118,917.
