Housing cost burden for owners and renters by state Households spending 30% or more of household income on housing costs (owners: mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities and fees; renters: gross rent), for all households, owners and renters, and for households with incomes under $35,000; with the median gross rent as a share of household income (as published). Shares are derived by Quadranac from Table B25106 counts and exclude households with zero or negative income and renters paying no cash rent (for whom the Census Bureau computes no cost ratio). From the American Community Survey 2025 1-year estimates (household population; survey estimates with margins of error, larger in small states). Percentages are derived by Quadranac from the published counts.
