A household is considered to be moderately burdened when the housing costs exceed 30 percent of the family income.

This table contains data on the percent of households paying more than 30% (or 50%) of monthly household income towards housing costs for California, its regions, counties, cities/towns, and census tracts. Data is from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Consolidated Planning Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) and the U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey (ACS). The table is part of a series of indicators in the [Healthy Communities Data and Indicators Project of the Office of Health Equity] Affordable, quality housing is central to health, conferring protection from the environment and supporting family life. Housing costs—typically the largest, single expense in a family's budget—also impact decisions that affect health. As housing consumes larger proportions of household income, families have less income for nutrition, health care, transportation, education, etc. Severe cost burdens may induce poverty—which is associated with developmental and behavioral problems in children and accelerated cognitive and physical decline in adults. Low-income families and minority communities are disproportionately affected by the lack of affordable, quality housing. More information about the data table and a data dictionary can be found in the Attachments.

In 2019, almost one quarter of all renters in the United States were considered to be severely cost-burdened, but there was variation among U.S. states. For instance, 28.2 percent of renters in Florida were severely cost-burdened, whereas 15.2 percent of North Dakota renters were considered severely cost-burdened. A household is considered to be severely cost-burdened when the rent payments exceed 50 percent of the family income.

This U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) five-year estimates data set includes information about rent cost burden levels, calculated as gross rent as a percentage of household income in the past 12 months, in a number of geographic areas ranging from statewide to census tract. The data set includes median gross rent data from 2009-2016.

This data layer depicts, by census tracts, gross rent as a percentage of household income in the past 12 months for the San Francisco Bay Region. The source data, from the United States Census Bureau, has been reprocessed by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.

To produce this feature set, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission downloaded American Community Survey (ACS) table B25070 to create a feature set representing rent as a percentage of household income by the following categories: ● Rent less than 30% of household income ● Rent is 30.0% to 49.9% of household income ● Rent is greater than or equal to 50% of household income

The resulting attribute table had all margin of error fields deleted, percentage fields added, county code field added, jurisdiction name added, and the source field names were changed.

The source table used to develop this feature service is from the United States Census Bureau, 2015-2019 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates and can be downloaded from https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table?q=B25070%3A%20GROSS%20RENT%20AS%20A%20PERCENTAGE%20OF%20HOUSEHOLD%20INCOME%20IN%20THE%20PAST%2012%20MONTHS&g=0400000US06%241500000&tid=ACSDT5Y2019.B25070

This layer shows housing costs as a percentage of household income, by census tracts in the City of Los Angeles. This contains the most currently released American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year data, and contains estimates and margins of error. There are also additional calculated attributes related to this topic, which can be mapped or used within analysis. Income is based on earnings in past 12 months of survey.

This statistic shows the share of income spent on rent by 22 to 30 year olds in the United States as of 2018, by generation. Millennials aged 22 to 30 years old, had the largest rent burden and spent ** percent of their income on rent.

Information is derived from the ACS Housing Costs feature layer, which contains the most current release of data from the American Community Survey (ACS) about housing costs as a percentage of household income.

Households by burden of housing costs (mortgage or rent, heating, electricity, etc.) by number of recipients. National.

In 2019, there were 20.3 million cost-burdened renter households in the United States. A household is considered to be housing cost-burdened when the housing costs exceed 30 percent of the family income. California had three million cost-burdened renter households, which accounted for 51.6 percent of all renter households in the state.

This map shows housing costs as a percentage of household income. Severe housing cost burden is described as when over 50% of income in a household is spent on housing costs. For renters it is over 50% of household income going towards gross rent (contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities). Miami, Florida accounts for the having the highest population of renters with severe housing burden costs.The map's topic is shown by tract and county centroids. This service is updated annually to contain the most currently released American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year data, and contains estimates and margins of error. There are also additional calculated attributes related to this topic, which can be mapped or used within analysis. Income is based on earnings in past 12 months of survey.

Data can also be exported for offline workflows. Please cite the Census and ACS when using this data.Data Note from the Census:Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.Data Processing Notes:This layer is updated automatically when the most current vintage of ACS data is released each year, usually in December. The layer always contains the latest available ACS 5-year estimates. It is updated annually within days of the Census Bureau's release schedule.

Boundaries are updated at the same time as the data updates (annually), and the boundary vintage appropriately matches the data vintage as specified by the Census. These are Census boundaries with water and/or coastlines clipped for cartographic purposes. For census tracts, the water cutouts are derived from a subset of the 2010 AWATER (Area Water) boundaries offered by TIGER. For state and county boundaries, the water and coastlines are derived from the coastlines of the 500k TIGER Cartographic Boundary Shapefiles. The original AWATER and ALAND fields are still available as attributes within the data table (units are square meters).

These negative values exist in the raw API data to indicate the following situations:The margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate.Either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution.The median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution, or in the upper interval of an open-ended distribution.

A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate.The data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number of sample cases is too small.

Which Twin Cities Metro census tracts are cost-burdened? The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development states that housing is “affordable” if no more than 30% of a household’s monthly income is needed for rent, mortgage payments and utilities. Households who pay more than 30% of their income on housing costs are considered cost-burdened.This map shows Median Gross Rent as a percentage of Median Household Income for Renters.
