Comprehensive Plan  35

  Fig. 16: Town of Aurora Housing Cost Burden by Income

Cost burden by Income

When examining cost-burdened households
by income, the most significant housing
affordability challenges are found among
households earning 50% or less of Aurora’s
HAMFI, with 634 households experiencing
cost burdens. At the over 100% HAMFI level, a
notable 285 owner-occupied households are
also cost-burdened. No renter households
earning 80-100% or more of Aurora’s HAMFI
are cost-burdened; however, cost burdens
are observed among owner-occupied
households at all income levels.

Housing Problems

Approximately 31% of renter-occupied rental units throughout the Town of Aurora have at least one
recorded housing problem. Comparatively, only 12.8% of owner-occupied units have a recorded
housing problem. Housing problems include incomplete kitchen facilities, incomplete plumbing,
there is more than one person per bedroom, or the housing cost burden is greater than 30%.
