Housing Crisis in North Carolina: A Staggering 29% of Households Struggle with Cost-Burdened Housing

The North Carolina Housing Coalitions latest report reveals a dire housing situation, with 1.2 million households across the state facing cost-burdened housing, a 29% increase from last year. The Triangle area, particularly Wake County, leads in eviction filings, while Orange County grapples with the toughest housing squeeze. A full-time construction worker in Orange County might need to work 50-70 hours a week to afford a typical two-bedroom apartment. Durham County follows with 31% of households cost-burdened, and Johnston and Chatham counties are also feeling the strain. Statewide, housing needs are outpacing solutions, with Wake County ranking tenth in evictions and 861 families facing foreclosure this year.
