The Boston Regional Challenge analyzes the combined costs of housing and transportation for neighborhoods, cities, and towns throughout a Boston regional study. Our analysis finds that the typical household in the study area spends upwards of $22,000 annually on housing, which represents roughly 35 percent of the median household income ($68,036). With transportation costs for the typical household reaching nearly $12,000 annually, the combined costs of housing and transportation account for roughly 54 percent of the typical household’s income.
