A ratio below 100 and a corresponding negative number in the surplus/deficit column indicate that there are fewer affordable rental units in a particular income category than there are renter households in the same category. Ratios higher than 100 and a positive value in the surplus/deficit column indicate a greater number of affordable rental units than renter households in an income category. 2 Assumes that housing costs (rent plus utilities) should consume no more than 30 percent of household income. A ratio below 100 and a corresponding negative number in the surplus/deficit column indicate that there are fewer affordable and available rental units in a particular income category than there are renter households in the same category. Ratios higher than 100 and a positive value in the surplus/deficit column indicate a greater number of affordable and available rental units than renter households in an income category. 3 A unit has an incomplete kitchen if it is missing a sink with a faucet, a stove/range, or a refrigerator. Plumbing facilities are considered incomplete if the unit does not have hot and cold running water, a flush toilet, or a bathtub/shower. A unit is considered crowded if it contains more than one person per room. Statistical Significance Note: Current one‐ and three‐year estimates are compared to prior estimates to determine if they are significantly higher ( ↑) or lower (↓) at the 90 percent confidence level. "−−" suggests no statistically significant change.
