Oregon Legislature: Renter Cost Burdens by Member, Feb 2022 Update. Share of Renters Paying 30% or 50% For Rent Are Similar for Both Political Parties.

In a December 2021 post HERE I created a PDF file that included a listing of cost burden data for all members of the Oregon legislature updated with 2019 data. I have updated that PDF to add new members who replaced members who left after the election last fall. 

That updated 3 page PDF file is HERE (I changed the link within the prior post also). 

ALL of the observations about renter costs burdens stay the same. 

Namely:

--PRE COVID--and regardless of party:

• About 1/2 of all renters paid 30% or more for rent; that's 287,983 renter households.
• About 1/4 of all renters paid 50% or more for rent; that's 145,586 renter households.
