About 7 in 10 renters below 50% AMI are cost-burdened
69% of extremely low-income and 79% of very low-income renter households pay more than 30% of income on rent; 64% of the lowest band pay half or more.
Under one affordable listing per 100 low-income households
27 of today’s 1,136 priced listings are affordable at 50% of AMI, for 11,490 renter households at or below that line.
