Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Joliet

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

about half of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Will County average of 40.4%. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. At $1,154 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Joliet commands.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 5.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Will County average of 4.2 closely. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $65,083.

60% 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.
