And now more local news …
Do you make enough money to rent in Delaware? This report says 30% of workers don't
If you want to comfortably afford a one-bedroom apartment in Delaware, you will need to make at least $52,000 per year, reports Amanda Fries.
That is according to the latest report from the National Low Income Housing Coalition, which breaks down how much someone needs to make annually to afford a studio, one-bedroom, and all the way up to four-bedroom housing in the First State, Amanda writes.
“The ‘Out of Reach’ report maps out by ZIP code across all 50 states, as well as Washington, D.C., the hourly wage someone would need to afford a one- or two-bedroom apartment. The report also provides data on median wages for each state’s most common occupations, and the total number of people employed in those jobs,’’ she writes.
