Seattle City Council – Workforce and Affordable Housing Program Review: Existing Conditions Acknowledgments: The Seattle Planning Commission, Office of Housing, Department of Planning and Development, and Cornerstone Partnership. Existing Conditions: Workforce and Affordable Housing 1 Existing Conditions • How much do lower income households earn? • How many housing units are in Seattle and how many are rent-restricted? • What is the current income mix of Seattle households? • For rented and owned housing: – What can lower income households afford to pay? – Is existing housing accessible to lower income households? – What is available in the marketplace? • How many households will Seattle add over the next two decades? • What will be the future demand for affordable housing? Existing Conditions: Workforce and Affordable Housing 2 How much do lower income households earn? A one person lower income household earns between less than $18,200 and $45,100 per year. An entry-level teacher in the Seattle School District earns approximately $42,000 and would be considered low income. 2013 Seattle Income Categories Names Household Incomes 1 Person Household Income Ranges 4 Person Household Income Ranges Extremely Low Income Less than 30 percent of the median family income (MFI) Between 30 and 50 percent of the MFI Between 50 and 80 percent of MFI < $18,200 < $26,000 $18,201 - $30,350 $26,000 - $43,350 $30,351 - $45,100 $43,351 - $64,400 Very Low Income Low Income Source and notes: HUD 2013. Housing affordable to households earning between 60-80% of HUD Area Median Family Income (MFI) are sometimes referred to as “workforce housing.” Additionally, the term “lower income” often refers to all people making less than 80% of the MFI. Existing Conditions: Workforce and Affordable Housing 3 How many housing units are in Seattle and how many are rent restricted? Between 2005 and 2012, Seattle added about 29,000 net new housing units. There are approximately 14,000 anticipated additional units that have received building permits but have not yet been built. The City of Seattle and the Seattle Housing Authority have about 24,000 rent restricted units. This is approximately 8% of the total inventory of housing units. Some of these units are occupied by seniors and the disabled, many of whom are not workforce participants.

Share of Existing Households within Seattle by Income Category 100% Income Categories: 90% 80% 70% 60% 60% greater than 80% of HAMFI greater than 50% but less than or equal to 80% of HAMFI 50% Share of Households 40% 30% 14% 20% 11% greater than 30% but less than or equal to 50% of HAMFI 15% less than or equal to 30% of HAMFI 10% 0% Households by Income Category Data source and notes: Estimates for household income distribution are from the HUD "CHAS" dataset obtained from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year period (2006-2010). ACS estimates are based on a sample and carry margins of error. Income categories are based on HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI) and are adjusted by household size. The 2010 Census counted 283,510 households in Seattle. (As of 2014, there are roughly 298,000 households in the city.) Existing Conditions: Workforce and Affordable Housing 5 What rent can lower income households afford to pay? While the average rent of studios may be affordable to some lower income households, average rents for units with one or more bedrooms exceed affordable rents for all lower income household categories. Affordable Rent by Income Level and Average Rent by Number of Bedrooms Extremely Low Income (<30% MFI) Very Income (30-50% MFI) Low Income (50-80% MFI) Includes basic utilities 0 bedroom 1 bedroom 2 bedroom $455 $487 $758 $813 $1,127 $1,208 $585 $976 $1,450 3 bedroom 4 bedroom $676 $755 $1,127 $1,257 $1,675 $1,868 Average Rents (Seattle) Excludes basic utilities $1,057 $1,279 $1,466 one bath $1,958 two bath $2,310 Data not available Sources: Rent Limits based on 2013 Income Limits for Seattle-Bellevue HMFA (HUD Metro Fair Market Rent Area) Dupre+Scott Apartment Advisors, Apartment Vacancy Report, Fall 2013 (20+ unit multifamily rental buildings). Note: The average rents do not reflect cost of basic utilities, which is a component of housing affordability. Existing Conditions: Workforce and Affordable Housing 6 What type of multifamily rental housing – by price and size – does the market provide? The multifamily rental housing market does provide some studio, one-bedroom, and even two bedroom units at rents affordable to lower income households. 2013 Data - 1+ Unit Properties - Adjusted for time and utilities where needed.

Legend Affordable to extremely low income (<30% MFI) Affordable to very low income (30-50% AMI) Affordable to low income (50-80% AMI) Existing Conditions: Workforce and Affordable Housing 7 Is existing affordable rental housing accessible to lower income households? However, affordable units on the market are not always available to lower income households. Consequently, many lower income households are cost burdened. A household is considered “cost burdened” when housing costs, including utilities, are more than 30% of monthly household income. 140 Affordable & Available Units Per 100 Renter Households Housing Cost Burden by Income - Renters 100% 120 90% Not Cost Burdened 80% 100 Affordable & Available Units 80 Affordable Units 60 Households 40 70% 60% Negative or No Income (Not Computed) 50% 40% Cost Burdened 30% 20% 20 Severely Cost Burdened 10% 0 0% ≤ 30% AMI ≤ 50% AMI ≤ 80% AMI ≤ 30% > 30 ≤ > 50 ≤ > 80% AMI 50% 80% AMI AMI AMI Existing Conditions: Workforce and Affordable Housing 8 What are the income characteristics of the households occupying affordable rental units? Households that are not lower income households, including households earning more than the area median income, occupy a significant share of affordable housing provided by the market.

Existing Conditions: Workforce and Affordable Housing 10 What type of ownership housing – by price and location – does the market provide? Depending on the neighborhood, some condominiums are affordable to lower income households.

Existing Conditions: Workforce and Affordable Housing 11 Is existing affordable ownership housing accessible to lower income households? However, lower income households are more likely to consist of cost burdened homeowners. Housing Cost Burden by Income - Owners 100% 90% 80% 70% Not Cost Burdened 60% 50% Negative or No Income (Not Computed) 40% Cost Burdened 30% Severely Cost Burdened 20% 10% 0% ≤ 50% AMI > 50 ≤ 80% AMI > 80 ≤ 100% AMI > 100% AMI Existing Conditions: Workforce and Affordable Housing 12 How many households will Seattle add over the next 20 years? Seattle expects the number of housing units in the city to grow by about 70,000 over the next two decades. 321,700 Growth: 70,000 Housing Units 391,700 Total Housing Units 2014 in 20 years Notes: 2014 estimate is as of beginning of year; includes DPD's estimate of net new housing units since the 2010 Census. The expectation for the addition of approximately 70,000 housing units over the next 20 years is based on the growth projection being using for the Major Update of the Comprehensive Plan. Existing Conditions: Workforce and Affordable Housing 13 What will be the future demand for affordable housing? Assuming that the household income distribution remains the same, Seattle would need to add approximately 28,000 new affordable units over the next 20 years to meet future demand. 70,000 Income-based Housing Affordability Categories: 60,000 50,000 60% or 43,218 greater than 80% of HAMFI 40,000 Housing Units 30,000 20,000 14% or 9,586 11% or 7,592 10,000 15% or 10,505 0 40% or 27,683 units at or below 80% of HAMFI greater than 50% but less than or equal to 80% of HAMFI greater than 30% but less than or equal to 50% of HAMFI less than or equal to 30% of HAMFI 70,000 Total Additional Housing Units in Next 20 Years Data source and notes: This chart applies income distribution for Seattle from HAMFI income estimates from 20062010 ACS "CHAS" data to the 70,000 net new housing units the City expects in Seattle in the next 20 years. HAMFI stands for HUD Area Median Family Income.Workforce HAMFI-based Existing Conditions: andincome categories include adjustments for household 14 size. Evaluation of the affordability of actual housing units added to Seattle's housing stock would also need to take the Affordable Housing size of the unit into account.
