Housing Insecurity
Housing insecurity is an umbrella term that encompasses a variety of circumstances and indicates risks to attaining and maintaining safe and stable housing. Affordable housing, or housing that costs less than 30% of household income, including utilities, is key to stable housing. Many communities use data points to understand the availability and health of area housing. The maps below are county-by-county numbers for some of those metrics and indicators.
