One-third of US households pay more than 30 percent of wages on housing

June 28, 2018 By Geoffrey Disch Leave a Comment

The term is “cost-burdened” and it means those households paying more than 30 percent on housing. That number now stands at 38 million in the United States. The problem is even worse for renters where 21 million pay more than 30 percent and 11 million pay over half of their income in rent.

The problem is that incomes have not kept pace with the growth of the economy, made even worse by the ongoing shortage in housing inventory.

There is a bit of good news, at least on the rental front. While rental prices have grown by 3.7 percent average, some markets are reporting increasing vacancies which should cause a slowdown in price gowth.

Our clients say...

“I’ve been in this industry for over 20 years. I have seen both fantastic and just “ok” escrow officers. The Escrow Officer and her team are typically the last stop for a borrower during the purchase or refinance transaction. You want that person and team to be personable, professional and helpful to your client. Kathy and her team at Green Escrow has surpassed my expectations. The team has gone the extra mile to ensure my file closed on time and without incident. I’m looking forward to continued success with Green Escrow.””
