Combined Housing and Transportation Cost As A Percent Of Income

Factoring in both housing and transportation costs provides a more comprehensive way of thinking about the cost of housing and true affordability.
Why is this important?
Traditional measures of housing affordability ignore transportation costs. Typically a household’s second-largest expenditure, transportation costs are largely a function of the characteristics of the neighborhood in which a household chooses to live. Location matters. Compact and dynamic neighborhoods with walkable streets and high access to jobs, transit, and a wide variety of businesses are more efficient, affordable, and sustainable.
