In the past year, rent has gone up 17.5% to $1,820/mo, according to data from Dwellsy. Renters now need to spend an extra $3,250 per year on rent vs. this time last year.
“At $1,820 in rent per month, the median renter household with a median rental is spending 52% of their (pre-tax) income on rent,” said Jonas Bordo, CEO and Co-Founder of Dwellsy. “That’s a shockingly high and growing burden for these households.”
Overall statistics, however, mask a dramatic difference between the market for single-family rentals and apartment rentals. Single-family home rentals have seen the majority of rent increases in the past year.
