Elevated rental costs can generate economic strain for both individuals and families, particularly those with restricted financial means.

This financial pressure can fuel desperation, potentially prompting individuals to resort to criminal actions, including theft or fraud, as a means of coping with their financial hardships. In Perry, the average monthly rent stands at $790, while the national average is $949 per month.
