A new interactive version of “Paycheck to Paycheck” which allows visitors to our website to select among 64 occupations for each of more than 130 of the nation’s largest housing markets.
For the last five years, the Center for Housing Policy has published a series of reports documenting the growing numbers of working families with critical housing needs. One recent study revealed a dramatic 67 percent increase between 1997 and 2001 in the number of low- to moderate-income working families paying at least half their income for housing.
To put a ?face? on aggregate numbers, the Center developed “Paycheck to Paycheck” analyses which look at wages for selected vital occupations to see how working families relying on these earnings fare in housing markets around the country.
The Center for Housing Policy is the research affiliate of the National Housing Conference
