Ranking of Oregon 19 CBSA's: Share of Income for 50% MFI Family Spent on Housing and Transportation.

Using location affordability index downloadable data I created a MS Word document with a table showing the ranking of 19 Oregon CBSA's (Core Based Statistical Area) by the share of income that a 3 person low income family (50% of HUD MFI) would spend on housing and transportation. 

MS Word is HERE and embedded below. Three quick observations:

1. Portland has second lowest share of income spent on housing and transportation because it has the lowest share of income spent on transportation. 
2. Conversely, Hood River has the highest combined share of income spent on housing and transportation because it has the highest share of income spent on housing. 
3. In ALL Oregon CBSA's families at this income level would spend more than 30% of their income for housing.
