General Information

Description: Number of affordable and available housing units per 100 households with low, very low, and extremely low incomes

Additional notes:

This metric reflects the availability of housing options for households with low incomes. It reports the number of housing units that are affordable and available for every 100 households with low incomes (below 80 percent of area median income, or AMI), every 100 households with very low incomes (below 50 percent of AMI), and every 100 households with extremely low incomes (below 30 percent of AMI). Housing is considered affordable when monthly costs fall at or below 30 percent of a household’s income. A unit is affordable and available at a given income level if it (1) meets our definition of affordable for that income level and (2) is either vacant or occupied by a renter or owner with the same or a lower income. Values below 100 suggest the housing stock does not meet the need.
