A new report from Rice University finds that Houston is creeping up the ranks of least affordable cities. Houston comes in at No. 26 among major metros for affordable housing and transportation costs.
Rice’s Shell Center of Sustainability examined several issues including quality of life and housing affordability for its report. It notes that on average, residents of Houston spend 46% of their median household income on housing and transportation. Some area residents spend as much as 60% of their earnings on the two segments.
