As new cases of Covid-19 rise across the U.S. and stall many state reopening plans, almost 13% of renters say they have “no confidence” in their ability to pay next month’s rent.

An additional 20% only have “slight confidence” in making the payment, according to a U.S. Census Bureau survey conducted from June 25 to June 30.
