The voucher gap is 21.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.6/10. Severe burden reaches 8%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Adults with no health insurance runs 3.8% against 11.3% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
