A Zillow and StreetEasy analysis reveals that over half of U.S. families renting homes are rent burdened, spending more than 30% of income on rent due to a scarcity of affordable multibedroom rentals.

Solutions include building more homes on available land and easing zoning restrictions to increase supply and affordability for families.
