For many in the Tri-Cities area, they're just one paycheck away from life-altering consequences. As of January most Americans, 60%, are living paycheck to paycheck. The average Tri-Cities apartment rent rose almost 5% last year, and has nearly doubled in the past decade, according to data from the University of Washington's Center for Real Estate Research. In March 2013, the average one-bedroom apartment in the Tri-Cities was $630, today it's $1,146. That means things like losing a job, major car problems or unexpected medical bills can put many at risk of not having enough to eat, or worse.
