INTRO & OVERVIEW

The NC Housing Coalition’s County Profiles provide a snapshot of housing needs for each of North Carolina’s 100 counties. They provide data on cost-burdened households paying at least 30% of their income for housing, a comparison of what different jobs pay and changes in home prices, foreclosures, and evictions in our communities. These profiles are designed to be used by advocates in their communities and with their local and state elected officials as an education around the housing issues we face in our cities and towns. It’s important to note that the data in disaster-designated counties does not fully represent post-storm housing conditions in the county, and the housing need is likely greater now than the data shows.
