Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Clearwater Springs at Mirage

At $2,043 a month, rents run 60% over what the rest of Joliet commands. Against Will County at 40.4%, 51% of renters here are cost-burdened. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 2/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 2.3/10. The voucher gap is 16.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 3/10.

On the national scale it lands near the 38th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 3% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.3 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 21% of average household income of $115,765.

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.
