General Accounting Office Changes In Rent Burdens And Housing Conditions Of Lower Income Households GAO's analysis of housing and income data collected by the Bureau of the Census and the Department of Housing and Urban Devel- opment disclosed that among lower income households--those with incomes of 80 per- cent or less of an area's median family income--the number paying rents in excess of 30 percent of their incomes increased by about 4.1 million--from 7.8 million in 1975 to 11.9 million in 1983. The number paying in excess of 50 percent of their incomes increased by about 2.6 million--from 3.7 million in 1975 to 6.3 million in 1983. GAO found that the most significant in- creases occurred among very low-income households, that is, those with incomes of 50 percent or less of an area's median fam- ily income. By 1983, nearly half of these households paid more than 50 percent of their incomes for rent, compared with 38 percent in 1975. GAO also found that the percentage of lower income households living in adequate housing units increased slightly between 1975 and 1981. 126774 GAO/RCED-85-108 APRIL 23, 1985 k C'Cou
