Against Cook County at 45.6%, 51% of renters here are cost-burdened. Food insecurity runs 27.2% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 24.3% against 15.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 364 filings here across 15 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2007, when 3.7% of renter households were served.
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.
