Similar levels of severe overcrowding are experienced by all lower income households (below <br />80 percent AMI). <br />6.0% <br />y <br />:2 5.0% <br />0 <br />L <br />H 4.0% <br />3 <br />O <br />= 3.0% <br />w <br />O <br />= 2.0% <br />m <br />1.0% <br />a <br />0.0% <br />Figure A-14: Overcrowding by Income Level and Severity <br />0%-30% of AMI <br />0.6%0.9% <br />31%-50% of AMI <br />1.2%1.2% <br />51 %-80% of AMI 81 %-100% of AMI Greater than 100% <br />of AMI <br />5.0% <br />■ 1.0 to 1.5 Occupants per Room A More than 1.5 Occupants per Room <br />Notes: <br />Universe: Occupied housing units <br />The Census Bureau defines an overcrowded unit as one occupied by 1.01 persons or more per room (excluding bathrooms and <br />kitchens), and units with more than 1.5 persons per room are considered severely overcrowded.
