New @uscensusbureau data out today confirms what millions of renters already know - rental affordability worsened during the pandemic, with the share spending at least 30% of income on housing rising to over half of all renters. @EnterpriseNow @E_HousingPolicy

The share spending at least half their income on housing, meanwhile, was up to 26%, another 6-year high. These data are the first American Community Survey results since 2019 to show the extent of renter affordability challenges nationally.

The number of renters paying at least half their income on housing increased by nearly 1million in the last two years alone!

The rise in shelter costs is even more remarkable given the index captures average monthly occupancy costs, which for most households (with leases/mortgages) don't change month-to-month - so only a small # of households is driving that change @EnterpriseNow @E_HousingPolicy

Latest #PARE post is out! In it, @FloraArabo and I discuss how a return to pre-pandemic 'normal' means a return to high eviction rates for BIPOC renter households, and what actions are needed to prevent this, for @E_HousingPolicy @EnterpriseNow enterprisecommunity.org/blog…

Last week was also the anniversary of the #PARE series, with 12 blogs produced in 12 months on the racial equity implications of various housing policies. I'm so proud of and grateful to my @EnterpriseNow colleagues for their contributions and support of this effort! /5
