Commonwealth of Virginia Housing Facts

The 2024 “Out of Reach” National Low Income Housing Coalition report shows that despite rising wages, cooling inflation, and low unemployment, low-wage workers and other renters with low incomes continue to struggle with the cost of rent. Given the inadequate housing safety net and increasingly unaffordable rents, homelessness is on the rise. The signature statistic of Out of Reach is the “Housing Wage” – an estimate of the hourly wage full-time workers must earn to afford a rental home at fair market rent without spending more than 30% of their incomes.

The 2024 report shows that housing is out of reach for workers across a range of occupations and wage levels. Of the nation’s top 20 occupations, 14 pay median wages lower than the one-bedroom housing wage. More than 64 million workers, or 42% of the workforce, work these 14 jobs, meaning that despite a growing economy, affordable housing remains out of reach for a large portion of renters in the U.S.

In Virginia, the Fair Market Rent (FRM) for a two-bedroom apartment is $1,573. To afford this level of rent and utilities while staying at or below the 30% of income threshold, a household must earn $62,925 annually.

• Working a minimum wage at $12.00/hour will require an 87-hour work week to afford a modest 1-bedroom rental home at Fair Market Rent. *
• 2.5 – the number of full-time minimum wage jobs needed to afford a 2-bedroom rental home at FMR*
• 2.2 – the number of full-time minimum wage jobs needed to afford a 1-bedroom rental house (at FMR) *
