Joliet Eviction Risk: Lower

At $2,005 a month, rents run 57% over what the rest of Joliet commands. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. The voucher gap is 13.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 3/10. It sits 0.6 points below the Will County average of 4.2. Nationally it ranks #56,048 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 15% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.5 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
