Community Conditions
The indicators below show how the housing crisis impacts different communities, and how conditions like rent burden, displacement risk, and unequal access to opportunity shape this jurisdiction’s housing needs and priorities.
Rent Burden
Rent burden measures the share of household income spent on housing. Households that spend more than 30% of their gross income on rent are considered “rent burdened,” and those spending more than 50% are considered “severely rent burdened,” according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Gentrification Risk
Gentrification risk measures the likelihood that low-income residents—particularly people of color—will be displaced as neighborhoods experience rising rents, investment, and demographic change.. Each community is classified into one of four categories: gentrifying community, at risk of gentrification, stable community or exclusive community.

Neighborhood Opportunity
Neighborhood opportunity reflects access to key resources like good schools, jobs, transportation, and safe environments. Each neighborhood is classified into one of five opportunity levels—from “high segregation and poverty” to “highest resource”—based on factors that influence long-term well-being and upward mobility.
What's the impact?
For decades, discriminatory policies like redlining, restrictive covenants, and exclusionary zoning barred people of color from accessing housing in high-opportunity neighborhoods. At the same time, government-led urban renewal projects demolished homes and businesses in communities of color, especially Black neighborhoods, destroying intergenerational wealth. These patterns entrenched racial segregation and continue to shape today’s unequal access to schools, jobs, transit, and other neighborhood resources.
