What does housing affordability really mean?

The benchmark for affordable housing is 30% of monthly household income (based on a family of four).

This is the amount a household can spend on housing while still leaving income for other essential needs. That means a Beaufort County household earning $90,400 can afford about $2,260/month, while a Jasper County household earning $66,850 can afford about $1,671/month.

What is Area Median Income (AMI)?
Area Median Income, or AMI, is a benchmark used to represent the midpoint of household incomes in a specific area. In simple terms, half of households earn more and half earn less. Why does AMI matter? Because housing affordability is relative to what people in our community earn.
