Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Romeoville

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.3/10. At $1,417 a month, rents run 25% under what the rest of Romeoville commands. Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 3/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 18.8% against 11.3% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 6% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

42% 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 19% of average household income of $87,589.

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.
