Measuring unmet housing need and housing instability in households with roommates and extended family / by Aaron Gorski, David Heisel and Jerry Situ.CS462-80001/2025-1E-PDF

"This paper uses data from the 2021 Census of Population to provide a nuanced look at households with roommates or extended family members. First, it describes living arrangements and how housing costs are shared among household members within these households. Second, it examines the housing and socioeconomic characteristics of individuals in these house-sharing and cost-sharing arrangements to illustrate varying levels of housing instability risks and risks of unmet housing need. Lastly, it assesses some risk profiles to estimate the size of the population in these households that could be at risk of housing instability or unmet housing need. This analysis describes the characteristics of households with roommates and extended family to inform the discussion on how best to measure and track housing instability and unmet housing need within these households"--Introduction, page 4.
