Renters paying more than 30 percent, by income

  • Each figure comes from the American Community Survey, a sample, pooled over five years. Windows that follow one another share four of their five years, so a change from one window to the next is not an independent measurement.
  • Income bands are shares of HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI), which HUD sets for each metropolitan area or county; a household in the same band in two places can have different dollar incomes.
  • A household is cost burdened when housing costs exceed 30 percent of its income and severely cost burdened when they exceed 50 percent. Housing costs are gross rent for renters and selected monthly owner costs for owners.
  • Households with zero or negative income have no cost burden that can be computed. As HUD does, they are left out of every percentage, including the all-incomes percentage.
  • HUD rounds every household count to a multiple of 5, and the margins of error for a small county are wide, so a county percentage can move several points between windows with no real change.
  • HUD's state and county files carry no national row, so the nation is not shown.
  • The all-incomes percentage is built from the five income bands, so it is a share of households whose burden could be computed.

American Community Survey, 1-Year Estimates

Caveats

  • Values are single-year American Community Survey (ACS) estimates; margins of error are not shown.
  • Dollar figures are in that survey year's dollars, not adjusted for inflation across years.
  • One-year estimates are not comparable to the Census Bureau's 5-year estimates for the same geography or measure, even when the years overlap.
  • There is no standard 2020 ACS 1-year release: the Census Bureau replaced it with experimental COVID-19 estimates, so 2020 is omitted here.
  • One file is read for each year, and for 2010 through 2019 each year's figures come from a separate Census API request that requires a Census Bureau API key.
  • Place figures are for the incorporated city as the Census Bureau defines its boundary, not the metro area or county.
  • Which of Idaho's places clear the 65,000-person floor for 1-year estimates can vary by year.
