Analysis
What drives eviction risk in McHenry
Against McHenry County at 40.1%, roughly two in three of renters here are cost-burdened. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,868, 20% above the McHenry average.
Food insecurity runs 8.8% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 7.1% against 15.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 35th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Only 24% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.4 points cooler. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the McHenry County average of 4.3 closely.
Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $115,369.
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.
