Most D.C.-area residents worry about paying their rent or mortgage, according to a recent Gallup survey.
Gallup poll finds most D.C.-area residents worried about paying rent or mortgageA for sale sign is posted outside a single-family home in Philadelphia, Friday, Dec. 1, 2023. On Thursday, Freddie Mac reports on this week’s average U.S. mortgage rates.
A similar survey in January 2020, two months before stay-at-home orders were issued, found that 31% of residents worried about making rent or paying their mortgage. In Montgomery County, officials have invested in public housing for decades and require developers to set aside roughly 15% of units in new projects for households earning less than two-thirds of the area’s median income for a family of four — a little over $150,000 a year. However, broad opposition has stalled affordable housing projects for low-income and homeless residents.
That was slightly higher than the 10% of residents in Fairfax County who said the same — and just a bit lower than the 15% of adults in Loudoun County, Arlington and Alexandria who were content with affordable housing options. Most D.C. residents reported satisfaction with transportation, nightlife, arts and cultural opportunities. But they were the unhappiest of any residents in the region with their access to basic needs and services.
