Story Behind the Curve
This indicator measures the number of mortgaged owner households with monthly ownership costs of 30% or more of income as a percentage of all mortgaged owner households.
Why Is This Important?
The financial burden of paying a mortgage or rent, insurance, property taxes, utility expenses and other housing related costs is considered un-affordable when these costs are greater than 30% of a household's income. These households are at much higher risk of foreclosure, eviction, homelessness, or frequent moving--all of which harm residents and the community.
