American Community Survey: New Statistics Available from the 2023 ACS 1-Year Estimates [ [link removed] ]

*Nearly Half of Renter Households Are Cost-Burdened, Proportions Differ by Race*

Over 21 million renter households spent more than 30% of their income on housing costs in 2023, representing nearly half (49.7%) of the 42.5 million renter households in the United States for whom rent burden is calculated. Although the median ratio of income-to-housing costs for renters [ [link removed] ] remained unchanged from 2022 at 31%, there are differences in the income-to-housing cost ratio when comparing across householder’s race. That’s according to newly available data tables released today from the 2023 American Community Survey (ACS) [ [link removed] ], 1-year estimates.

"Housing costs rose between 2022 and 2023 for both homeowners and renters. The median cost of housing for renters rose from $1,354 to $1,406 (after adjusting for inflation)," said Molly Ross, a survey statistician with the U.S. Census Bureau. "And new data from the 2023 ACS, 1-year estimates show that the share of a rented household’s income that goes towards these housing costs differs by householder race.”

Households spending more than 50% of their income on housing costs are considered severely cost-burdened.
