A new study by the Center for Housing Policy, entitled Housing Landscape 2012, found that the share of working households paying more than half their income for housing rose significantly between 2008 and 2010 for both renters and owners. This annual report explored the last Census data on housing costs and income, including housing cost burden data from the 50 largest US metropolitan areas, all 50 states, and the District of Columbia. The report found that nearly one in four working households in the US spends more than half of total income on housing.
