Market Intelligence: Q3 Market-Rate Apartment Affordability Update
Now Available On Demand
The headlines indicate renters can no longer afford rent. But what does the data show? Join us for the release of the RealPage® annual study on market-rate apartment affordability – the largest study ever done on U.S. rental affordability using actual lease data.
Are incomes continuing to climb among market-rate renters? What percent of income are these renters spending on rent? How much of the rent due is getting paid each month? How do rent-to-income ratios and rent collections vary by asset class and market?
