Miami-Dade County Housing Data Appendix

At the other end of the spectrum, just 11 percent of Black renters have incomes above 100 percent of AMI compared to 46 percent of White renters and 36 percent of renters of other races. [...] At the 0-80 percent of AMI level, the number of affordable units (height of the full bar) roughly equals the number of 0-80 percent of AMI renters, but 89,795 of these units are occupied by households with incomes above 80 percent of AMI. [...] The gap grows to 121,820 units for renters and units up to 50 percent of AMI because the number of added units with rents affordable between 30 and 50 percent of AMI is much smaller than the number of additional renter households between 30 and 50 percent of AMI. [...] Three- quarters of renters below 30 percent of AMI and half of renters at 30-50 percent AMI are severely cost burdened, compared to 19 percent of 50-80 percent AMI renters and 3 percent of renters with incomes above 80 percent of AMI. [...] The relative heights of the bars in Figure 28 show that the existing supply of units affordable at 50-80 percent of AMI is more than double the supply of units affordable at 0-50 percent of AMI.
