How do transportation costs factor into affordable housing? When considering both housing and transportation costs, the window of affordability becomes even more narrow. These maps show where a family of four (two working commuters and two kids) that makes the area median income (approximately $57,000) can live if they want to pay less than 50% of their income towards housing and transportation costs (green) or more than 50% of their income towards these costs (red).
