Food insecurity runs 9.3% against 17.8% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 68 filings here across 6 tracked years. SNAP participation runs 7.1% against 15.2% nationally.

Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 3/10. It sits 0.6 points below the Chesapeake City average of 3.6.

Filings peaked in 2013 at 4.8% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.5% of renter households face a filing.
