Use this chat to assess how rent, utilities, or mortgage costs compare with household income, or to summarize housing burden in a community dataset. Enter the figures and it can calculate cost-to-income percentages, flag households above common burden thresholds, and compare results across groups or time periods. Leave with a burden calculation, a plain-language data summary, or questions to guide a housing policy discussion.

What it writes

  • Housing cost-to-income calculation
  • Community burden-rate summary
  • Year-over-year affordability comparison

How to use it

Include gross monthly income, monthly rent or mortgage, and utilities as separate amounts. For community analysis, name the geography, years, and household groups so the rates use comparable categories.

What you bring

  • Monthly housing costs and household income
  • Population group or geography
  • Data years and category definitions
  • Use income and housing costs from the same period

A good fit for

  • Checking whether rent and utilities exceed 30% of monthly income
  • Summarizing cost-burden rates across neighborhoods for a policy meeting
  • Comparing housing costs and incomes across two years of survey data

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.
