Data and definitions
How to read the estimates
The Census Bureau’s 2020–2024 American Community Survey five-year release provides these survey estimates. America.co matched Census rent tables by geography ID and used the Gazetteer’s representative points to calculate straight-line distance.
- Gross rent includes contract rent and utilities or fuels paid separately. The median describes cash-rent homes surveyed during this period.
- Rent burden means gross rent was at least 30% of household income. Severe rent burden means at least 50%. Both shares use only cash-rent households for which Census could compute the ratio.
- Margins use the Census 90% confidence level. The rent margin is published by Census. The burden margins are approximate and combine the published category margins using the Census sum and proportion formulas. County and ZIP-area pages require at least 100 estimated households with a computed ratio, a rent margin at most 35% of the estimate, and a rent-burden margin of 20 percentage points or less.
- ZIP areas are Census ZIP Code Tabulation Areas. A mailing ZIP can differ or have no corresponding Census area. Distances are straight-line distances between representative points.
