Abstract: This study investigates the impact of socioeconomic factors on rental housing affordability for middle-income households in Dhaka, Bangladesh. With a rapidly growing middle class and a significant housing crisis, particularly in urban areas, the research examines key determinants influencing rental affordability. The methodology consists of data collection through discussions, questionnaires, and observations, followed by analysis of factors affecting rental affordability. The analysis includes a reliability assessment, correlation analysis, and multiple regression to identify significant predictors of rental affordability. Policy recommendations are provided to improve housing affordability, focusing on enhancing transportation infrastructure, ensuring better-maintained housing, and targeting vulnerable groups such as younger and low-income residents. The study lays the groundwork for future research and policy development aimed at improving rental housing conditions in Dhaka, contributing to enhanced socioeconomic resilience and overall living standards.
