Stonewater is a one-tract neighborhood of McHenry, IL, population 4,466. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.7/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 42%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
64% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the McHenry rate of 30.4%. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $2,021, 30% above the McHenry average of $1,553.
The voucher gap is 14.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $115,625.
One tract means one number: 3.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
