What drives eviction risk in Crystal Lake
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. At $1,734 a month, rents run 18% over what the rest of Crystal Lake commands. Food insecurity runs 8.0% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 6.2% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 0.8 points below the McHenry County average of 4.3.
That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 8% 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 1.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Against average income of $120,486, annual rent is just 17%. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 0%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
