We are working on housing stability because it is the major issue facing Routt County residents who seek to live and work here.
​
We define housing instability as paying more than 30% of household income on rent or a mortgage. It is a key predictor if an individual or family has enough money left for other necessities such as food, clothing, transportation, child and medical care. 

​

Currently, many Routt County residents do not have stable housing. The situation is especially bad for those who are middle- or low-income. In Routt County, 51.7% of households making less than $75,000 are housing cost-burdened.
