About 8 in 10 renters below 50% AMI are cost-burdened
83% of extremely low-income and 83% of very low-income renter households pay more than 30% of income on rent; 74% of the lowest band pay half or more.
Under one affordable listing per 100 low-income households
59 of today’s 1,634 priced listings are affordable at 50% of AMI, for 17,465 renter households at or below that line.
