The inside story on rent prices
Source: US Census Bureau - ACS 5 Yr 2022

The optimal rent to household income ratio is 25% to 28% or less. When you pay more than 30% of your income towards rent, your ability to pay for food, transportation, health care, education, and savings becomes increasingly difficult.
