Rents have risen 17 percent in Ohio in the last two years
Thirty-five percent of households in the Cleveland census tract are renters — and many can't pay the rent.
Of the nearly 880,000 households in the Cleveland-Elyria Metropolitan Statistical Area , which is made up of Cuyahoga County, Geauga County, Lake County, Lorain County and Medina County, 35 percent are renters. The generally accepted maximum amount recommended to spend on rent and utilities is 30 percent of total income before taxes. Following this rule, someone in the Cleveland area would need to make $39,920 annually or $3,327 monthly to afford a two-bedroom FMR apartment.
