Housing shortage hits low income renters in 1993 study
A 1993 Census Bureau based study from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities finds 11.2 million low income renters and only 6.5 million low rent units, leaving nearly two renters per unit. It notes four of five poor renters pay over 30 percent of income for housing and many spend half their income, amid gentrification and aging properties. Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation disputes the results.
