Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Island Lake
Cost burden runs about half here against 40.1% across McHenry County. The clearest offset is economic stress at 2.2/10.
The voucher gap is 19.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running hot, supply constraint reads 7/10.
It sits 0.8 points above the McHenry County average of 4.3. At $2,108 a month, rents run 12% over what the rest of Island Lake commands.
On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 11% 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 3/10. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $85,329.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
