  5. Employment Centers’ and HousingAffordability This map shows the relative affordability for the remaining employment centers within the context of theregion. Employment centers (outlined in white) are overlaid on census tracts that display the percentage of owners and renters spending more than 30 percent of their household income on housing costs. Census tracts in orange are the least affordable, with higher percentages of owners and renters housing costs exceeding 30 percent of household incomes. While housing values are generally higher in employment centers located in Cobb and Gwinnett counties, as well as portions of N. Fulton and N. DeKalb, household incomes are also generally higher in these census tracts, therefore housing costs are also generally more attainable for those households. Thus, incomes are a key driver of determining affordability, regardless of housingprices. Housing Affordability: % of Housing Costs Exceeding 30% of HouseholdIncome 47.3 to82.5 38.4 < 47.3 32 <38.4 26.5 <32 9.4 to <26.5 Source: 2011-2015 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates via NeighborhoodNexus
