Crystal Lake Eviction Risk: Lower

Average gross rent is $2,049, 40% above the Crystal Lake average. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. It sits 1.2 points below the McHenry County average of 4.3.

Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Food insecurity runs 8.3% against 17.8% nationally.

The voucher gap is 16.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation runs 6.5% against 15.2% nationally.

On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 7% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 2.0 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport 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. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $131,651.

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.
