Utility Tables

Housing Norms data represent the average combined expenditures for shelter and utilities by salary level, distinguishing between households of single persons and those of families of two or more persons.

Utilities consist of expenditures for fuel and light, as well as power for heating, air-conditioning, cooking, and operating home appliances.
The shelter component consists of expenses for a primary dwelling, taking into account expenditures for both renters and owners: rent (plus utilities if included in rent) and any repairs charged to renters, mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and repairs. The repayment of mortgage principal is a form of savings and, as such, is excluded.
