<br /> Indian River County Board of County Commissioners Comprehensive Plan Housing Elements(known as the Consolidated Plan)states:
<br /> COST BURDEN(from Indian River County Board of County Commissioners Comprehensive Plan):
<br /> Generally,households needing assistance are those households in the extremely low and very low income categories.Those are households with
<br /> annual incomes less than$24,999.According to the Census,14,698 Indian River County households were in those two income categories in 2000.
<br /> Because of high housing costs,many of those 14,698 households may have housing affordability problems.
<br /> For renter households,housing cost includes contract rent and some allowance for utilities.In 2000,4,414(40.30%)renter households with the
<br /> county were paying more than 30 percent of their income for rent.In some cases,this represents an affordability problem,but in other cases this
<br /> represents people choosing to spend a higher percentage of their income to obtain better housing.
<br /> According to the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing,13,577 Indian River County households paid more than 30%of their income for
<br /> housing in 2005.In that same year,5,066 of those households paid more than 50%of their income for housing.
<br /> Table below,provides a breakdown of cost burden between homeowner's and renters:
<br /> Households paying between 30- Households paying more than Total
