SNAP participation runs 3.7% against 15.2% nationally. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, housing-court posture reads 2.7/10.
Housing insecurity runs 7.0% against 14.2% nationally. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining").
