Average gross rent is $1,466, 10% below the Ridgewood average. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Joliet.

On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $65,357.

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.
