# Rent is rising sharply in the most affordable areas, stressing low, middle-income tenants

Rent

Rent has eased substantially across the nation over the past year, curbing the biggest driver of inflation and providing relief to millions of Americans.

But not in the least expensive areas, where low- and middle-income residents are most vulnerable to high housing costs.

In December, rent jumped 7.5% annually in the zip codes, or neighborhoods, with the lowest average rents, according to the Bank of America Institute’s analysis of check, debit, credit card, and other types of rent payments by tens of millions of customers.

By comparison, rent increased just 4.4% annually in the middle third of neighborhoods based on rent levels and 3.4% in the most expensive areas, according to the institute, which analyzes deposits and payments of Bank of America customers to study consumer trends. The figures are based on three-month averages to minimize month-to-month volatility.

As a result, the low- and middle-income residents who are most likely to live in the cheapest areas and are already burdened by high rent and utility costs are feeling additional strains that could push them into dire circumstances, housing experts say.

The least costly zip codes are feeling the most relative pressure, said Joe Wadford, an economist at Bank of America Institute.

Nationally, yearly rent increases have slowed from a peak of 8.8% in early 2023 to 4.2% in January, according to the consumer price index.

## How did COVID affect rental prices?

In the early days of the pandemic, demand for homes, both for rent and purchase, exploded as Americans who lived with family or friends moved out or sought larger units due to health concerns. Since most white-collar employees could work remotely, many moved to more spacious homes in smaller cities, Wadford said.

For example, he said, lots of people moved from New York City to Charlotte, North Carolina, or from Los Angeles to San Antonio. In most cases, they were going from one relatively pricey neighborhood to another, increasing demand and rental costs in those destination cities.

From early 2022 to late 2023, rent soared 9.1% annually in the middle third of neighborhoods based on rent levels and 8% annually in the most expensive areas, according to Bank of America Institute data.

But as the rent hikes increasingly squeezed tenants, many began moving to more affordable cities such as Indianapolis or Columbus, Ohio, or away from places like Charlotte and San Antonio to less expensive suburban or rural areas in the same metro areas, Wadford said.

That pushed up demand for apartments ‒ and rental prices ‒ in towns that are still less expensive but less so than they were. Starting in March 2024, the price dynamic among the areas flipped, with rent increases in the least expensive zip codes starting to outpace those in the middle and upper thirds, the institute's data show.

“People have been chasing affordability,” Wadford said.

## How does high rent affect people?

The upshot: Existing tenants in the least expensive communities are facing sharp rent increases that are stressing their finances. 

Emmy Manley, 22, who lives in an affordable neighborhood in Duluth, Minnesota, has had to pay relatively modest yearly rent increases of $30 to $40 since moving four years ago to her two-bedroom apartment in a triplex that was converted from a single-family house. Those bumps have pushed her rent to a manageable $930 a month.

This year, however, she received a notice that her rent would be rising by $155.

“I was definitely shocked,” Manley said, noting the nondescript apartment has no amenities and receives minimal service. “It’s not worth the extra money.”

So Manley, who works in customer service for a financial services firm, decided not to renew her lease and is moving to a one-bedroom apartment costing $795 a month.

Had she decided to stay, she said she would have had to “cut out little treats for myself,” like grabbing coffee or lunch at eateries near her office and instead making her own. She also would have had to scale back dinner and movie nights with her boyfriend and shop exclusively at discount stores such as Walmart.

Lower-income Americans hit with big rent increases face starker choices:

“What this means is a cut into either medicine or food,” said Shamus Roller, executive director of the National Housing Law Project, which advocates for the rights of tenants and low-income homeowners.

For some, “The increase really starts to matter,” he added. “It can push them into homelessness.”

In 2023, 83% of renters who earned less than $30,000 a year were "cost-burdened," meaning they devoted more than 30% of their incomes to rent and utilities, according to the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University. That compares to half of all renters.

That year, those low-income renters spent a staggering 80% of their income on housing costs.

## Is there actually a housing shortage in the US?

With rents rising sharply across the U.S. a few years ago, builders responded with a surge of apartment construction from 2021 to 2023, notes Joel Berner, senior economist at Realtor.com. But now that rent increases have softened, developers have “decided to pull back,” he said.

Yet even the new multifamily housing built a few years ago mostly consisted of more profitable luxury buildings geared to middle- and upper-income residents, Wadford said.

“It’s not likely to provide immediate relief for people in the least expensive areas,” he said.

There’s a nationwide shortage of 7.3 million affordable rental homes, according to the National Low Income Housing Coalition.

### Seniors who are affected by high rents

Cody, a 55-year-old retired nurse, was surprised to learn that his monthly rent had jumped 14% in the past year.

It’s been a struggle for him to pay for his $600 apartment, he said. He has to work late to make ends meet and often has to go out for groceries because the rent is so high.

“Everything’s getting more expensive,” he said. “We're trying to make do with what we have.”

Jeanne, a 61-year-old retired teacher, is also struggling to keep up with rent and utilities. She can’t afford to buy new appliances or replace her furniture, she said.

The rent has increased dramatically, she said.

“It’s too much,” she said. “I can’t afford it.” She can’t afford to keep up with the bills, she said, and she’s not sure how she will get through these tough times.

“Even if I raise the rent on my apartment,” she said, “I don’t know how to cover all of the other bills, like utilities, electricity, rent, and food, so we’re just going to have to cut back on those.” She worries that while she’s working, her husband will have to work longer.

Cody and Jeanne both said they have no plans to move to higher-paying areas.

### What you can do

If you’re a renter, there are several ways to reduce your rent, but most are expensive, said Vickie Hsieh, a real estate agent and broker with The Build and Save Agency.

“Most of them require a lot of money or time,” she said.

She said that if tenants want to save money, they may want to consider moving to a smaller apartment or buying a car. There are also some programs that can help with rent, like military housing, HHRSA assistance, and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

“Finding a good deal, a good place to live, may take a little bit of research and a little bit of patience,” Hsieh said.
