SAN DIEGO (CNS) – In not so shocking news, it’s expensive to live in San Diego, two reports released by local nonprofits and government organizations Thursday confirmed.
The San Diego Housing Federation, in coordination with the California Housing Partnership, released the annual “San Diego County Housing Needs Report,” spotlighting the growing need for affordable housing investment to provide much-needed homes for low-income renters.
In the findings: Average rent has increased by nearly $100 from last year to $2,571, meaning a San Diegan needs to make $50 an hour — around three times minimum wage — to afford to live here.
