NLIHC has updated both its Congressional District Housing Profiles and State Housing Profiles to reflect the most recent data available. In addition, the new Congressional District Profiles reflect the recent redistricting and the results of the 2012 elections. The updated profiles echo previous years’ work to communicate an in-depth look at housing affordability and housing needs, by income group.The Congressional District Housing Profiles provide statistics on the number and percent of renter households spending more than half of their income on housing costs as well as the shortage or surplus of affordable rental units by income. These statistics are provided at the congressional district level as well as for the entire state. Out of Reach 2013 data for metropolitan areas and counties partially or wholly within the congressional district borders are also included to provide a picture of housing costs and an overview of housing affordability.The State Housing Profiles provide state-level charts of housing cost burden and the number of units affordable and available to low income renters. The profiles each contain a map illustrating the number of housing units affordable and available to extremely low income (ELI) households in each county in the state. Key facts from recent NLIHC research publications are also included, such as the absolute shortage of affordable and available rental units, the number of ELI renters and the income needed to afford a two-bedroom rental unit in the state.The new Congressional District Housing Profiles and State Housing Profiles can be accessed through NLIHC’s Resource Library at http://nlihc.org/library/housingprofiles.
