Ways to start
A few requests this Agent can handle.
My household earns $4,800 a month before taxes and pays $1,650 rent plus $180 utilities. Calculate the share of income going to housing and explain the result.
I have data for 240 renter households: 78 spend over 30% of income on housing and 35 spend over 50%. Summarize the burden rates for a council memo.
In 2020, median rent was $1,050 and median renter income was $38,000; in 2024, rent was $1,360 and income was $44,000. Compare the trend.
