Cary Eviction Risk: Lower

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.6/10.

21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Average gross rent is $1,717, 20% above the Cary average. Food insecurity runs 9.2% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 7.4% against 15.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 38th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 20% 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.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.6/10. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.3 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the McHenry County average of 4.3 closely.

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.
