Quick Glance: Majority of Seattle-area Renters Report Significant Rent Increases in Past 12 Months
- While rents in the Seattle area and nationally surged in the early pandemic years, the rental market seems to have calmed since 2023, providing some relief to local tenants.
- However, recent survey data from the US Census Bureau suggests that the majority of renters in the Seattle area may not agree with these reports.
- Out of the estimated 658,000 individuals who experienced rent hikes, approximately 113,000 had a relatively minor increase of under $100. A significantly larger group - around 306,000 - saw their rent rise between $100 and $249 per month.
- Established in 2020 as a response to the pandemic, the initiative aimed to inform authorities and policymakers about the pandemic's effects on communities nationwide and offer data to support recovery post-pandemic.

US changes how it categorizes people by race and ethnicity. It's the first revision in 27 years
apnews.com/article/race-ethnicity-census-bureau-hispanics-0b2c325b683efd95e8e8e24235654abd
Quick Glance: Expansion of Race and Ethnicity Categories in US Census
- The Biden administration has approved changes in how Latinos are questioned about their race and ethnicity in the census, including the addition of a new checkbox for "Middle Eastern or North African."
- In upcoming federal surveys, participants will encounter a minimum of seven new categories for "race and/or ethnicity," with instructions to select all applicable options.
- OMB's adjustment of statistical standards regarding race and ethnicity signifies a shift in the U.S. government's concept of "White" and introduces a completely novel category, "Middle Eastern or North African."
- These fresh standards aim to provide deeper insights into healthcare and socioeconomic disparities, potentially leading to fewer selections of the "White" category by those identifying as Middle Eastern or North African.

Quick Glance: New York inmates' legal action over solar phenomenon
- Prisoners in a New York correctional facility have taken legal action as the state's Department of Corrections announced restrictions that would hinder their observation of the upcoming total solar eclipse next week.
- The six individuals incarcerated at Woodbourne Correctional Facility are asserting that preventing them from witnessing this rare astronomical occurrence would infringe upon their religious rights as outlined in the constitution.
- The impending solar eclipse is scheduled for Monday afternoon and was last visible in the United States back in 2017. It will not be observable in the country again until 2044.
- A representative from the Department of Corrections informed ABC News that they refrain from commenting on ongoing legal matters but emphasized that the lockdown's purpose is to prioritize the "safety" of both the inmates and prison staff.

Quick Glance: Seattle Emerges as Least-Religious Hub in the U.S.
- Americans have witnessed a decline in religious adherence over recent decades, with attendance at religious services dwindling nationwide. Recent survey findings point to Seattle standing out as one of the least religious areas in the country.
- Approximately 64% of adults in the Seattle area abstain from regular church or religious service attendance, accounting for around 1.98 million individuals out of the total 3.1 million adult population in the metro region encompassing King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties.
- The survey data is derived from the ongoing Household Pulse Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. A novel addition to the survey, the inquiry into religious service attendance was executed from early January to early February, with a comprehensive national sample of approximately 68,500 respondents.
- When compared to the nation's 15 largest metropolitan regions, Seattle emerges as the least religious locale, narrowly surpassing San Francisco. In Seattle, 63% of residents never or rarely attend religious services, placing it at the forefront of this trend, followed by Boston at 56%.
