The Rent Burden and Housing Insecurity

What the rent burden data shows about housing insecurity in the US

The Data

The rent burden data -- the specific proportion of the renter household income that goes to rent -- shows that approximately 50 percent of US renter households are rent-burdened, spending more than 30 percent of income on housing. Approximately 25 percent are severely rent-burdened, spending more than 50 percent. The accountability journalism of the housing system requires examining what the specific rent burden produces for the specific household.

The Consequences

The specific consequences of severe rent burden: the specific spending reduction in the specific categories -- food, healthcare, transportation -- that the housing cost crowds out; and the specific housing instability whose risk the severe rent burden produces when the specific income shock or the specific rent increase exceeds the specific financial margin the severely burdened household maintains.
