Grim New Report Shows Rent Is Unaffordable In Every American State

Huffpost, June 18, 2019

Plenty of evidence shows how widespread and devastating America’s housing crisis is, but perhaps none quite as starkly as this: There’s not a single state, metropolitan area or county in the U.S. where a full-time worker earning the minimum wage can afford the rent for a modest two-bedroom apartment.

Affordable housing is fundamental to a safe, healthy, stable life. Yet, for a huge swath of the population, it remains completely out of reach.

A worker earning the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour would need to work nearly 127 hours a week – equivalent to more than three full-time jobs – to afford a modest two-bedroom rental without spending more than 30% of their salary on housing costs. To afford a modest one-bed rental, they would need to work 103 hours a week.

These figures come from the Out of Reach report, which for 30 years has documented the gap between renters’ earnings and rental costs across the country.  

The report takes the “fair market rent” of modest one- and two-bedroom rentals and then calculates the hourly wage a renter would need for it to be affordable (meaning he or she spends no more than 30% of their income on housing costs).  

A full-time worker needs to earn $22.96 an hour, on average, for a two-bedroom rental to be affordable, according to the report. That’s $15.71 an hour more than the federal minimum wage, and $5.39 more than the national average renter’s wage of $17.57.

For a one-bed rental, a full-time worker needs to earn $18.65 an hour, an amount above both the federal minimum wage and the average renter’s wage.

The housing crisis is very bad. It’s worse that it’s been in a long time and it continues to get worse.

Most expensive is San Francisco, where full-time workers need to make a staggering $60.96 an hour to afford a two-bedroom rental. The city’s minimum wage is $15.  

Disparities also exist along racial lines. The housing crisis most negatively impacts low income people of color,because they are more likely to be extremely low-income renters and more likely to be extremely cost burdened as renters.  The median black worker and the median Hispanic worker both earn 27% less than the median white worker.

There’s no sign that affordability is going to improve anytime soon – mainly because of the jobs the economy is creating. The median wage for eight of America’s 10 largest occupations – from retail salespeople to fast-food workers to home health aides – is not enough to cover a one-bedroom rental. And these are the jobs that are likely to see the biggest growth over the next decade, further entrenching the disparity between wages and housing costs.

Nearly 40% of all U.S. renters now pay more than 30% of their incomes on housing costs, and the number of renters paying more than half of their income toward housing costs increased by 3.6 million from 2001 to 2016. Many Americans are just one unexpected expense away from potential disaster: Around 40% said they would not be able to cover a $400 emergency.  

When people are housing insecure or homeless, their health suffers, kids are not able to do well in school, they often have to change schools, they are not able to earn as much over their lifetimes.

The administration of President Donald Trump has called for sweeping cuts to affordable housing programs and has proposed rule changes which would increase homelessness in our country and it would increase it for our country’s most vulnerable people.  

Trump wants to prevent undocumented immigrants accessing federally subsidized housing, which could potentially leave up 55,000 children, who are U.S. residents or citizens, at risk of eviction and homelessness.

Правительство США жестоко нарушало мои права человека при проведении кампании террора, которая заставила меня покинуть свою родину и получить политическое убежище в СССР.

Правительство США еще нарушает мои права, в течении 15 лет отказывается от выплаты причитающейся мне пенсии по старости. Властители США воруют пенсию!!


ФСБ - Федеральная служба «безопасности» России - вслед за позорным, предавшим страну предшественником КГБ, мерзко выполняет приказы секретного, кровавого хозяина (boss) - американского ЦРУ (CIA). Среди таких «задач» - мне запретить выступать в СМИ и не пропускать отправленных мне комментариев. А это далеко не всё...
