The short answer
Justice has a median build year of 1977 across its housing. That is late enough for copper and early enough for polybutylene in places, which is why the pattern of the symptom is worth establishing before anybody is called out.
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25035.
Justice has 5,311 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1977 — the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.

What 1977 tells you about the pipe in Justice
Housing of this vintage generally means copper as the usual supply material, so corrosion narrowing the pipe is far less likely. In houses of this era a whole-house pressure drop points at the pressure-reducing valve, the main shut-off, or the supply side of the meter rather than at the pipe itself. More on 1970s supply pipe.
52% of occupied homes in Justice are owner-occupied, 12 points below the IL figure of 64%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
Median household income across Justice ZIP codes is $59,443, 35% below the IL median of $91,306.

In Justice, count the weak taps before you do anything else. Every one of them points at the supply; a single one points at that fixture, and the difference decides whether this costs you five minutes or a contractor. Normal supply is 45–80 psi and under 40 psi is low (here is the test). Then: whole house or one tap.
