In February 2022, U.S. rents soared by 17.1% year-over-year, reaching a new median of $1,792 per month, accounting for 30% of household budgets. Areas like Miami and San Diego are among the least affordable, with Miami's rents spiking by 55.3%. The report highlights a growing affordability crisis, especially in the Sun Belt, where many households face pressures from rising rental prices and mortgage rates. Despite the surge, some Middle America markets remain affordable, with rents under 30% of income. Overall, rising demand continues to outpace rental supply.
