This data layer depicts, by census tracts, gross rent as a percentage of household income in the past 12 months for the San Francisco Bay Region. The source data, from the United States Census Bureau, has been reprocessed by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. To produce this feature set, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission downloaded American Community Survey (ACS) table B25070 to create a feature set representing rent as a percentage of household income by the following categories: ● Rent less than 30% of household income ● Rent is 30.0% to 49.9% of household income ● Rent is greater than or equal to 50% of household income The resulting attribute table had all margin of error fields deleted, percentage fields added, county code field added, jurisdiction name added, and the source field names were changed. The source table used to develop this feature service is from the United States Census Bureau, 2015-2019 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates and can be downloaded from https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table?q=B25070%3A%20GROSS%20RENT%20AS%20A%20PERCENTAGE%20OF%20HOUSEHOLD%20INCOME%20IN%20THE%20PAST%2012%20MONTHS&g=0400000US06%241500000&tid=ACSDT5Y2019.B25070
