Housing
HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS
As with the rest of California, lack of affordable housing in Sacramento County is a main
contributing factor in the growth in homelessness in the region. The following chart shows the
median rent for Sacramento County and the needed hourly salary to afford that rent at 30% of the
total monthly income.

From January 2017 to April 2019, the median rent in Sacramento rose 14 percent, compared to
a five percent (5%) increase nationally; and from 2017-2018 Sacramento faced the highest rent
increases among California cities. Nearly 30% of all renters in Sacramento County spend more
than 50% of their monthly income in rent (Results from the 2019 Point in Time Count).
