According to the BLS, the median wage (as of May 2023) is $23.11. At a 40 hour work week, 50 weeks per year, that’s a $46,110 annual wage.

Median rent for a 2 bedroom apartment (as of Nov 2023 is $1,904. That’s $22,848 annually.

So rent is 22,848/46,110 = 49.6% of income. Traditionally, this would be closer to 30%.
