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.
