Housing costs
From this point, a s you scroll down the page, you'll notice that the numbers get more interesting as we look at the relationship between income and housing costs.
We've mixed in tips on understanding some of the subtle differences between terms used to describe housing costs and affordability and, as always, have included links to the technical definition for each term.
What's the difference between contract rent and gross rent? Contract rent is the monthly rent agreed to (for example, the "rent" amount one finds advertised in the Classifieds), while gross rent is the contract rent plus the estimated monthly costs of utilities (electricity, gas, water, sewer and fuels) whether they are paid for by the owner or the renter. Using gross rent helps to understand the total housing costs and eliminates the effect of the different payment arrangements such as water or electricity included in rent.

How can you compare rental to home ownership costs? If you use gross rent, it can be compared to selected monthly owner costs to understand the total costs of housing for renters and owners in a given area.

Housing affordability
How much house can a person afford? Census data can be used to determine how many households might be struggling to meet the costs associated with housing. There is no "magic number" to determine whether housing is affordable or not. According to conventional mortgage underwriting guidelines, the maximum amount of gross income that can be used for mortgage payments alone is 28%; the total for all debt payments including projected mortgage payments is 36%. The 28% threshold does not include other housing costs such as homeowner's insurance, taxes and utilities, and the 36% number includes non-housing costs such as credit card debt and car payments.
With this in mind, we aimed for a threshold in between those two. The closest number published by the Census is whether households are paying 30% or more of income on housing.
