Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Romeoville
Cost burden runs 86% here against 40.4% across Will County. What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10. It sits 1.6 points above the Will County average of 4.2.
The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. At $1,728 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Romeoville commands.
That is riskier than roughly 76% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Statute speed, court posture and rent-regulation exposure are inherited from Romeoville eviction risk rather than measured on these blocks; the economic and supply components are the tract-level part of the score. Social vulnerability reads 6.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $74,550. 52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
