In order to rent a two bedroom home in Washington, without sacrificing more than 30% of annual income, one would need to earn $29.31 an hour or have an annual household income of $60,966 according to a recent report by the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC).
This can be a problem for the 37% of Washington households who rent, yet earn an average of $22.94 an hour nearly $7 an hour below what is needed to comfortably rent a two bedroom home.
Someone making minimum wage would need 2.1 full time jobs, or work 86 hours a week in order to afford the rent of the two bedroom home at fair market value according to the NLIHC.
