Abstract: This report shows national trends in housing affordability for ELI renters, based on data from the 2000 Census and the five-year American Community Surveys for 2005-09 and 2010-14.1 It updates our 2015 brief, the first publication on housing affordability to combine county-level data for ELI households with data from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) rental assistance (Leopold et al. 2015). This report also incorporates new data that show the impact of US Department of Agriculture (USDA) rental assistance programs benefiting ELI renters and a new methodology for integrating survey and administrative data to estimate housing affordability and better isolate the role of federal rental assistance in making housing affordable for ELI households.
