Today, I'm out of the Corps and have an executive position in, what's becoming, a household brand name.I enjoy my day job.  

The point above may be helpful - are you looking for rapid growth (% wise) or just more households coming into the market? 

The city's median household income of $31,843 a year is well below the U.S. median of $57,652.There are likely many factors that contribute to low incomes in the area, though one of the most significant is employment.

@Jane S.I had a household with 3 adults and an income about 5X my rent inquire about my rental house. 

about 90-95% of households have registered for the federal do-not-callit's illegal to call cell phones people are changing phone numbers a lot between land lines and cell phones.

This would remove landlords’ incentives to decrease the housing supply and could provide households with the insurance they desire.To me that's pretty positive.

Some of the data points you can view include:- Rental Vacancy Rates- Median Household Incomes- Median Rents- Educational Attainment Rates- Population Counts and Changes- Home Values- Poverty Statistics  and much more.This will give you a pretty good idea of what to expect before ever stepping foot in the neighborhood you are researching. 

Downtown a lot of the rents and areas have already sky rocketed or have already been gentrified, are being gentrified, and there is some community sentiment issues because low income households feel they are being pushed out of where they lived for years and years.

The investor purchased the asset with the intention of renovating the units and adding value by increasing rents.South Shore remains to be one of the most undervalued neighborhoods in the City of Chicago relative to employment, average house hold income, occupancy levels and rents.

@Amanda ReynoldsI would start by taking a very objective look at the way you are running the personal and household budget.
