Renters living in the New York metro area have the highest rent-to-income ratio in the country at nearly 69 percent, according to a new report from Moody’s Analytics.
Figures show that for the first time in over 20 years, the entire United States is rent-burdened, as the average American rent-to-income ratio reached 30 percent. The ratio reflects what percentage of a household’s income is spent on rent.
That total is up 1.5 percent from last year’s estimation.
New York was followed by Miami, Fla.; Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; Los Angeles, Calif.; and Palm Beach, Fla., respectively.
Northern New Jersey; Boston, Mass.; Tampa-St.Petersburg, Fla.; San Francisco, Calif.; and Orlando, Fla. rounded out the top ten metros with the highest rent-to-income ratios.
The increases are largely due to rising mortgage rates, which pushed would-be buyers to stay renters and caused many households to be priced out of buying a home. This resulted in increased demand for apartments, driving up rates.

second year 2200
next year my guess would be 3500-4000
