Description: Severe housing burden is defined as spending 50% or more of monthly household income on housing. A small number of households without housing cost or income data were excluded from analyses.
Given the high cost of housing in Los Angeles County, many residents spend a sizable portion of their incomes on housing every month. Severe housing burden disproportionately affects low-income individuals, renters, and communities of color. Severe housing burden can negatively impact health by forcing individuals and families into low quality or unsafe housing, by causing significant stress, and by limiting the amount of money people have available to spend on other life necessities, such as food or healthcare. It is also an important risk factor for homelessness.
