Housing cost-burdened households

▼ Lower is better Real improvement
Compared against How peers are chosen →
What changed

Cost burden fell 6.1 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 56.6% to 50.5% - more than the combined survey margin (±4.6pp).

Broader trend
None of the similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction; 13% moved the other way. Union City started among the weakest third of similar-size cities, so some rebound is expected; still, the improvement is sustained and worth investigating.
