Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Joliet

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 2/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.1/10. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 3/10. That is riskier than roughly 51% 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 4.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. 43% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Will County average of 4.2 closely.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $82,734.

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.
