— Low-wage workers can’t afford two-bedroom rentals anywhere in Illinois,
report says More than half of Chicago renters severely burdened by the cost of
housing – Sara Freund
https://chicago.curbed.com/2019/6/18/18683776/chicago-illinois-affordable-housing-rent-burden
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The
average cost of utilities and rent for a two-bedroom apartment in Illinois is
$1,084 per month (this number comes from HUD’s fair market rent figures). In
order to afford that without rent burden would require earning at least $20.85
per hour (about $43,366 annually, assuming a 40-hour work week). In Illinois
the minimum wage is set at $8.25, and at that rate workers would need to put in
101 hours per week to afford a two-bedroom. About 34 percent of people in the
state rent and those that do have an average wage of $17.34 per hour.)
