People in These States Are Having the Hardest Time Paying Rent
By Gabrielle Olya of GOBankingRates |
As we near the year mark of the coronavirus pandemic causing lockdowns across the United States, 10.7 million Americans remain unemployed, according to the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That’s nearly double the amount of Americans who were unemployed prior to the pandemic. Many other Americans are now under-employed, with cuts to their hours or loss of business.
With so many people seeing their income reduced, it’s no surprise that many are struggling to pay their rent. An estimated 13.4 million adults living in rental housing nearly 10% of all adult renters were not caught up on rent as of December 2020, according to the United States Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey. But people are struggling in some states worse than in others.
