Rental Housing Affordability Data Explorer

Posted by Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia on December 10, 2024

Affordable rental housing paves the way to stable jobs, education, and other opportunities. The Rental Housing Affordability Data Explorer provides estimates on the availability of affordable rental housing at different income levels in Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, at both the state and regional levels.

Updated with data through 2022, the tool also includes information on:

  • the percentage of households who spend over 30 percent and over 50 percent of their income on rent.
  • the availability of affordable units for low- and moderate-income renters
  • the age and structure types of the low-cost rental housing stock
  • federally subsidized rental housing programs and their expiration status.

The data explorer sheds light on trends in rental affordability and can inform state, regional, and county strategies to address challenges in affordability and preserve the existing low-cost rental stock.
