Share of cost burdened renters in the U.S. 2019, by state
In 2019, almost half of all renters in the United States were considered to be either moderately or severely cost-burdened, but there was variation among U.S. states. For instance, 54 percent of renters in Florida were cost-burdened, whereas 38.1 percent of North Carolina renters were considered cost-burdened. A household is considered to be housing cost burdened when the housing costs exceed 30 percent of the family income.
