Housing cost-burdened households

▼ Lower is better Worsening
Compared against How peers are chosen →

Cost burden rose 6.2 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 26.5% to 32.8% - more than the combined survey margin (±4.1pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. 2 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. That is movement in the wrong direction.

Worsening beyond the survey margin, 2015-2019 vs 2020-2024 surveys; 3 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
