A report from the National Low Income Housing Coalition found that Washington has the fifth highest “housing wage” in the country:
"To afford a two-bedroom home in Washington – based on fair market rent prices – a renter needs to make more than $40 an hour, or $83,865 a year. The average renter in Washington makes just under $29 an hour, and those who are paid minimum wage make $16.28 an hour."
In Spokane County in 2024, a worker will need to make $25.08 per hour to affordably rent a market-rate two bedroom apartment.
