# U.S. renter housing burden — 2025 ACS one-year

Snapshot: bctl-destinations-47f0620be1025f8fa455

A source-reviewed contextual household burden series. No global Civometra score, V1/V2 model admission, native scoring geography approval or official quarterly result is created.

U.S. Census Bureau. 2025 American Community Survey 1-Year Detailed Tables, B25070; 2025 table-based summary file and geography metadata. BestCityToLive calculated category shares from original published counts, retaining exclusions and original margins of error.
The source universe is renter-occupied housing units. The derived denominator includes only units in published computed gross-rent-to-household-income categories; these are housing units, not persons or all residents.
ACS 2025 one-year survey estimates use interviews throughout 2025 and the source past-12-month household-income concept. These are historical survey estimates, not a year-end census or 2026 asking prices. The separate pooled 2020–2024 five-year series is not used to calculate an annual change.
The excluded Not computed category includes units paying no rent and households reporting no income or a net loss. Excluded counts and shares remain visible; these units are not classified as unburdened.
All original published 90% cell margins of error remain attached. Derived aggregate count and percentage margins of error, confidence intervals and covariance are unknown. No independent-error or joint-coverage assumptions are introduced; full calculation decimals do not imply measurement accuracy.

This estimate covers renter housing units in San Diego city, California. It uses the native Census place for ACS 2025, not the whole metropolitan area or JRC urban footprint. The named place and state are matched exactly to the original 2025 geography metadata; no boundary equivalence or scoring permission is inferred.
ACS household money income includes wage and salary amounts before tax deductions, and net self-employment income. It is not disposable or after-tax income.
Census calculates the gross-rent-to-income ratio for each housing unit and rounds it to the nearest tenth before publishing the categories. Our share aggregates those categories, rather than dividing unrelated medians or using unrounded household microdata.
Underlying measurements: U.S. Census Bureau. BestCityToLive derives the category aggregation; no overall rank or model admission is supplied.
