Abstract:
This section of the Rental Market Study discusses the characteristics of low-income, cost-burdened, renter fishing worker households. The study finds that of the 5,971 households in the state of Florida that contain at least one fishing worker, 1,825 rent their housing, nearly half are low-income, and, of these, 497 households are cost-burdened. These households constitute the demand for affordable rental housing among fishing workers.
