CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The severe-burden share is 11%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Average gross rent is $1,650, 14% below the Highland Park average of $1,925.
4.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Highland Park, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third.
At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $199,285, annual rent is only 10%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
