Renters face similar pressures, with asking rents climbing over the last few years (though rent growth has lost steam recently). Home-sale prices have risen nearly 50% since before the pandemic, while rental prices have risen about 20%. Wages have increased, but not as much as housing costs. Add in rising costs for just about all other day-to-day expenses, and millions of families are left with little cushion.<\/p>\n<p><b>There are a few key reasons single people typically have a harder time making their housing payments than those who are married:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>Household income is lower for single people.<\/b> Single people are stuck paying prices much better suited to a double income on a single-income budget; many married couples draw from two incomes, while many single people rely solely on their own income. Nearly half (48%) of single survey respondents report earning a household income of less than $50,000 per year, compared with just 9% of married people. On the flip side, married people are three times more likely than single people to earn household incomes between $100,000 and $500,000 (62% versus 21%).\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Single people face other financial disadvantages. <\/b>Married couples also receive tax benefits that single people don\u2019t get. And in many cases, married couples split the cost of other expenses like groceries, gas and childcare, so each individual has a smaller financial burden.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Single people tend to be younger than married people. <\/b>That means they\u2019re earlier in their careers and haven\u2019t yet hit their earning peak, and they have had less time to build savings. Additionally, many Gen Zers and millennials are still paying off student debt.

For instance, officials may consider zoning for ADUs and single-room housing, like dormitories. Policymakers may also consider cutting red tape and making it easier to build apartment complexes and condos full of studios and one-bedrooms.<\/p>\n<p><b>A Look at the \u2018Singles Tax\u201d in D.C. and the Bay Area<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nUsing Washington, D.C. as an example, here\u2019s a breakdown of the extra cost of living alone. Redfin is using D.C. because more than half of its adult population is single, making it one of the U.S. cities with the biggest proportion of single people.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe typical condo in the D.C. metro area costs $379,000. A buyer\u2019s monthly payment would be $2,974, using current mortgage rates and assuming a $566 HOA fee, the local median. A single person living alone would cover the whole cost themselves, while a married or cohabitating couple may split the cost and pay $1,487 each. Annually, a single person would pay a double-digit \u201csingles tax\u201d of $17,844.<\/p>\n<p>\nSay you\u2019re single and living alone in San Francisco, one of the most expensive housing markets in the U.S. The typical condo there costs $980,000, with a monthly payment of $6,950 (today\u2019s mortgage rates and a $724 HOA fee, the local median). A single person would pay that alone rather than paying half ($3,475), giving San Francisco a \u201csingles tax\u201d of $41,700.<\/p>\n<p><b>Affordability Concerns Keep Single Americans Stuck in Place<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nSingle Americans are more likely than their married counterparts to cite lack of affordability as a reason they won\u2019t be moving anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p>\nSingle people are nearly twice as likely as married people to say they\u2019re not moving because they can\u2019t afford the type of home they want to move to (26% versus 15%), and more than two in five (41%) single people say they\u2019re not moving because moving is too expensive, compared with 27% of married couples.<\/p>\n<p>\nTo view the full report, including charts and methodology, please visit: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2Fnews%2Fstruggle-afford-housing-single-versus-married&amp;esheet=54423425&amp;newsitemid=20260212553357&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redfin.com%2Fnews%2Fstruggle-afford-housing-single-versus-married&amp;index=5&amp;md5=2abf95926c877b6a964f84832730b6d0\">https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/struggle-afford-housing-single-versus-married<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>About Redfin<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nRedfin is a technology-driven real estate company with the country&#8217;s most-visited real estate brokerage website.
