Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Joliet

Against Will County at 40.4%, 92% of renters here are cost-burdened. At $2,083 a month, rents run 63% over what the rest of Joliet commands. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. The voucher gap is 18.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 3/10. Nationally it ranks #52,479 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 13% 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. Social vulnerability reads 4.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.3 points cooler. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
