In addition, Crystal Lake has been experiencing steady growth since 2000; according to recent data from Zillow®, the population of Crystal Lake has increased by 10% over that time period.

Despite these positive trends, there are still some areas in which Crystal Lake falls short when compared with other Illinois suburbs. For example, while it has a high home equity value relative to other Illinois suburbs, it also has one of the lowest home prices on average ($239K vs.$269K statewide). Additionally, while Crystal Lake's job market is strong overall (ranked #2 out of 62 suburbs in terms of job growth), there are some sectors in which it ranks lower than others (e.g., information technology). These disparities may be attributable to regional differences or local economic conditions that differ from those in other parts of Illinois.
