percent of their income on housing while seven million spend 50
percent or more.
-
14.3
million households, one in seven, spend more than half of their
incomes on housing.
-
Rent
prices have become less affordable over the past two decades
-
The
average renter is 34 years old and has an average income of $32,000
-

ownership is most affordable it has been since the early 1970's
-
During
2000, 1.6 percent of borrowers had a down payment of 5 percent or

being priced out of the housing entirely and instead continue to live
with their parents.
