A new report from housing nonprofit HAND last week found that roughly 57% of households in Alexandria were renters, which has us wondering: do more ALXnow readers rent or own homes in Alexandria?
That’s higher than the nationwide average, where only 36% — though that’s to be expected for a more urban area.
The study also found that, of renters in Alexandria, roughly 44% live in housing considered unaffordable — where more than 30% of their household income goes to housing expenses.
