Housing Costs for Families with
$25,000 -- $30000 Per Year


$25,000 - $30,000 Per Year
(One Full-Time Worker At $12.00 - $14.40 Per Hour
or Two Full-Time Workers at Less than
$7.00 per Hour Each)

Jobs in this wage range include school bus driver, receptionist, nursing aide, orderly, medical assistant, and medical records technician. A household with two persons working full time for minimum wage also would fall within this income category. For these households, rent for a two-bedroom apartment still exceeds 30 percent of income. Home ownership remains out of reach, with costs for a three-bedroom house taking up 50-60 percent of income.
