U.S. severe renter cost burden by state and county

Severe renter cost burden: definition and scope

Cash-rent households spending at least 50% of income on gross rent, among households with a computable ratio. The headline is the latest value approved within this website’s frozen release. It is not a promise that no newer upstream product exists. The accessible table retains more precision than the rounded headline.

Limitations and comparability

The not-computed group is excluded. This denominator may differ from other published rent-burden measures.

The estimate describes the full 2020–2024 ACS period. Compare it with the same five-year product and universe. One-year ACS, model-based products and administrative counts cannot be joined into an unlabeled series.

Source count margins of error are retained in the raw download, but a margin of error for this calculated percentage is not supplied. We do not infer significance from point estimates, claim statistically settled ranks, or silently convert missing cells to zero. Cross-area associations do not establish individual circumstances or explain what caused a difference.
