Rent-Burdened Zip Codes with Amye Cutlip - BestPlaces podcast #10
 Many Americans across the country can agree on one thing - rent is too darn high. In fact, millions of renters are considered cost-burdened or extremely cost-burdened. According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, renters paying over 30% of their income on housing are cost-burdened, while renters paying over 50% of their income on housing are extremely cost-burdened. Economic, social, and political factors all contribute to one's cost burden status, some more so than others.
