Renters Spending 30% or More of Household Income on Rent

Census Place: Sparks
Measurement Period: 2018-2022
Filter: none (all Census Places)
This indicator shows the percentage of renters who are spending 30% or more of their household income on rent. Rental costs are comprised of rent and utilities (electricity, gas, other fuels, water and sewer).
 
Numerator = Total estimate of renters who are spending 30% or more of their household income on rent
Denominator = Total estimate of renters with household income and rent spending determined

Why is this important?

Spending a high percentage of household income on rent can create financial hardship, especially for lower-income renters. With a limited income, paying a high rent may not leave enough money for other expenses, such as food, transportation and medical. Moreover, high rent reduces the proportion of income a household can allocate to savings each month.
The Healthy People 2030 national health target is to reduce the proportion of families that spend more than 30 percent of income on housing to 25.5 percent.

Technical note: The U.S. Census Bureau calculates 90% confidence intervals for American Community Survey estimates. Use caution when interpreting values with wide confidence intervals. Confidence intervals that are farther away from estimates in either direction indicate uncertainty due to small survey sample sizes. The U.S. Census Bureau does not recommend comparing overlapping 5-year periods since much of the data in each estimate are the same. Use caution when comparing estimates for census tracts over time as these geographies are redefined with each decennial census according to population changes.
