Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ingalls Park

26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Cost burden runs 52% here against 40.4% across Will County. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 2/10.

The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 21.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.7/10. It sits 1.0 points above the Will County average of 4.2.

Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 3/10. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Joliet. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. Nationally it ranks #29,336 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.6/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,351, close to the Joliet average. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $55,893.

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.
