Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Crystal Lake

On the softer side, economic stress reads 2/10. Cost burden runs around a third here against 40.1% across McHenry County. At $1,196 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of Crystal Lake commands.

11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the national scale it lands near the 40th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 4.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $122,118, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.

It tracks the McHenry County average of 4.3 closely. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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