Crete Eviction Risk: Lower

22% 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 high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10.

Against Will County at 40.4%, 47% of renters here are cost-burdened. Average gross rent is $1,500, 15% above the Crete average.

Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.9/10. That is riskier than roughly 38% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 13% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.3 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Will County average of 4.2 closely.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
