With property taxes on the rise, Chicagoans now rank housing affordability as their top concern—even over crime, according to a newly released poll.

Chicago city residents, 41 percent of those polled, identified housing affordability—specifically property taxes and “costs” like insurance and utilities—as their primary concern versus crime and gun violence. The survey was commissioned by Illinois REALTORS® and independently conducted by Statara, a leading research firm that has conducted opinion surveys and qualitative research for more than 30 years.
