Under HUD’s Consolidated Planning regulatfons <br />(24 CFR 91.205(b)(2)), a group is considered to have a “disproportfonately greater need” if its combined <br />moderate and severe cost-burden rate exceeds the jurisdictfon’s overall rate by at least ten percentage <br />points. In Everett, the overall cost-burden rate for all households in 2017–2021 was 38 percent (Table 9, <br />CHAS 2017–2021). <br />As shown in Chart 1 below, cost-burden rates vary markedly across racial and ethnic groups: <br />• Asian alone, non-Hispanic households had the lowest cost-burden rate at 36 percent, just below <br />the city average. <br />• White alone, non-Hispanic households experienced a 34 percent cost-burden rate, four points <br />below the city-wide rate. <br />• Black or African American alone, non-Hispanic households faced a 47 percent rate, nine points <br />above the average but just shy of the ten-point “disproportfonate need” threshold. <br />• Hispanic or Latfno (of any race) households had a 59 percent cost-burden rate—21 points above <br />the overall rate—clearly qualifying as a group with disproportfonately greater need. <br />• American Indian or Alaska Natfve alone, non-Hispanic households showed a 52 percent rate, 14 <br />points above the average, also indicatfng a disproportfonately greater need. <br />• All persons of color combined experienced a 46 percent cost-burden rate, eight points above the <br />city-wide figure. <br /> <br />62% <br />63% <br />100% <br />41% <br />65% <br />63% <br />73% <br />19% <br />20% <br />0% <br />32% <br />16% <br />27% <br />11% <br />17% <br />16% <br />0% <br />25% <br />19% <br />9% <br />3% <br />0%10%20%30%40%50%60%70%80%90%100% <br />Other (including multiple races, non-Hispanic) <br />White alone, non-Hispanic <br />Pacific Islander alone, non-Hispanic <br />Hispanic, any race <br />Black or African-American alone, non-Hispanic <br />Asian alone, non-Hispanic <br />American Indian or Alaska Native alone, non-Hispanic <br />Chart 1: Percent of all Households Experiencing Housing Cost Burden <br />by Racial Ethnic Group, 5-Year Average (2017-2021) <br />Not Cost-Burdened (≤30%)Cost-Burdened (>30% but ≤50%)Severely Cost-Burdened (>50%)
