Analysis
What drives eviction risk in McHenry
Food insecurity runs 8.6% against 17.8% nationally. Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. SNAP participation runs 7.0% against 15.2% nationally.
Average gross rent is $1,771, 14% above the McHenry average. That is riskier than roughly 49% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition 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.
39% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the McHenry County average of 4.3 closely.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $94,737. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
