Running cool, economic stress reads 1.7/10. Food insecurity runs 6.6% against 17.8% nationally.

It sits 0.8 points below the Cook County average of 6.1. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Filings peaked in 2002 at 6.3% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.0% of renter households face a filing.
