The worst year on record was 2015, when 3.5% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago.

In a typical year about 2.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 44th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
