Affordable Housing
According to the federal government, housing is affordable when rent or mortgage payments (principal, interest, taxes, and insurance) plus utilities are no more than 30% of the occupant’s monthly income.
Regardless of income, policymakers consider households contributing more than 30% of their income towards housing as cost burdened.
