Map shows Puget Sound area residents income percentage toward housing, transportation
Here’s an interesting map tool from the Center for Neighborhood Technology. It allows you to see on a map where people are spending 30 percent of the median household income (nearly $51,000 a year) on housing, up to 48 percent on housing and transportation and up to 45 percent on housing and transportation (this is considered affordable).

The Chicago-based group focuses on sustainable communities, specifically looking at transportation, energy and natural resources, among others. Click here to see a report written by the group looking at households’ transportation and housing costs.
I found this group after reading this story in The Arizona Republic.
