Housing Affordability Challenges for Renters and Homeowners in the Rural Fifth District
As previously discussed in this blog, homeownership affordability has been on the decline in rural communities throughout the Fifth District.

Many existing rural homeowners and renters — especially low-to-moderate income (LMI) households — are burdened by their housing costs.
