1,222 adults is not nearly enough data especially in Chicago. I did a little data analytics, you need way more then that. That looks a bit skewed.

Agree. Moreover, surveys are not to be trusted for such small numbers. Plus, how can be statistically significant a sample drawn from a single subset of population observations (Chicago) and being considered representative of the US population? That is odd at best

That's a lot of pay cheque to paycheque people, like 50%+ even in the best cohort, and in the biggest economy in the world, the rest of the world is even even worse shape and even if you do manage to save, if you can't access US financial markets you've been getting your clock cleaned.

if we showed the data from other countries they would be much worse, the US always tends to do things a little better than other countries, in Europe, this is surely worse.

Too small of a sample size, it will have a large error rate.

This is really a very small sample size. You need at least 10k to really make it count.
