Personal finance advisors and columnists often recommend that no more than 25% to 30% of your take-home pay should go to your landlord. Based on this general rule of thumb, if your income is\u00a0 $40,000 a year, your monthly rent should not exceed $1,000 a month.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Americans would be hard pressed in many U.S. cities to keep their rental costs within this ideal limit, and this is increasingly becoming a harsh reality even in mid-sized cities thanks to a nationwide housing crunch. A limited supply of rental properties disproportionately hammers lower-income renters competing for an insufficient amount of available stock.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAffordability is particularly a critical issue for renters in markets such as Miami, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Orlando, Riverside, and San Diego,\u201d says a report from 2022 released by two housing groups, National Apartment Association and the National Multifamily Housing Council. The report identifies how many renter households fork out 35% or more of their gross incomes to keep a roof over their heads in different U.S. cities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To determine <\/span>American Cities Where Renting is Least Affordable<\/b>, 24\/7 Wall St. reviewed <\/span>U.S. Apartment Demand Through 2035<\/span>, a 2022 report prepared by Hoyt Advisory Services and Eigen 10 Advisors for the two housing groups. Cities are ranked by their affordability rank from the report, which largely corresponds to the percentage of renter households that paid 35% or more of their gross income on rent in 2020. Only the 23 cities where at least 40% of households pay 35% or more of their income on rent are included. Population figures are from the U.S. Census Bureau 2021 American Community Survey.<\/span><\/p>\n

These cities do not necessarily have the highest rent among metro areas of the country, but rent compared to income is high. New York and Los Angeles, long known for notoriously high rents, are on the list, along with New Orleans and Albuquerque, New Mexico, where rents are lower. Other cities where affordability is a critical issue for renters include Miami, Orlando, Riverside, and San Diego – where 45% or more of renters spend 35% or more of income on rent. (These are the <\/span>states with the most unsheltered homeless people<\/span>.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Affordability issues can also be caused by a limited supply of rental properties for people in lower-income brackets. \u201cNew supply tends to focus on the upper echelon of the market which is already unaffordable to many renters,\u201d the report says. The strong housing markets in recent years also enticed many smaller rental property owners to sell, and these properties were sometimes converted to owned properties, \u201cthus further reducing rental stock at the low end of the market.\u201d (Here are <\/span>the best cities to rent new apartments<\/span>.)<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Providing relief to people paying such high shares of their incomes on rent is a complicated challenge, in part because homeowners often oppose the development of multi-family units or affordable housing near them out of fear it would drive down the value of their owned properties.<\/span>
