Poorest of the poor

Among Chicago Housing Authority developments with at least 300 occupied family units, the Harold Ickes Homes have the lowest average annual household income. The average income at the Ickes is slightly more than half the average income for all CHA family dwellings.

Note: All CHA family housing includes scattered site apartments. Source: Chicago Housing Authority Annual Plan 2007.
