Local cost of decent housing for a living wage

.

Chapter 6 in Living Wages Around the World, 2017, pp 148-168 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Chapter 6 is concerned with estimating the cost of acceptable housing. It describes how to do a local housing market survey to obtain the cost of rent (and utilities) for decent housing that meets the local housing standard discussed in Chapter 5. It includes tips on how to conduct an efficient local housing market survey, and provides an example of a housing survey questionnaire form. The chapter discusses how to analyze and present the results of a local housing market survey. Chapter 6 also discusses how to estimate housing costs when the rental market for decent housing is not well developed, and so there are very few rental units available that meet the local housing standard for decency.
