According to the Citizen's Budget Commission >The Citizens Budget Commission (CBC) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit civic organization whose mission is to achieve constructive change in the finances and services of New York City and New York State government. Our mission is rooted in serving the citizenry at large, rather than narrow special interests; preserving public resources, whether financial or human; and focusing on the well-being of future New Yorkers, the most underrepresented group in city and state government. https://cbcny.org/about-us https://cbcny.org/about-us See Figure 1 of their Report at https://cbcny.org/research/rent-and-ride https://cbcny.org/research/rent-and-ride for a comparison of housing plus transportation costs for a median income household for 20 cities. Miami is the lowest; San Jose is the highest. Figure 3 shows housing and transportation as a percentage of median income. Washington, DC is the lowest; Phoenix is the highest. The study appears to be based on the city, not the metro area. Cities vary considerably in how much of the metro is covered by the city, what percent of city workers live outside, what percent reverse commute, etc.
