Household Survival Budget sources ▪ Housing: HUD’s Fair Market Rent (40th percentile) ▪ Child Care: Registered Family Child Care Homes ▪ Food: Thrifty Level (lowest of four levels) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Plans – with regional variation ▪ Transportation: Car expenses include gas and motor oil and other vehicle maintenance expenses from Consumer Expenditure Survey (CES) ▪ Health Care: nominal out-of-pocket health care spending, medical services, prescription drugs from Consumer Expenditure Survey (CES) ▪ Technology: smart phone using Consumer Reports “Best Low -Cost Cell- Phone Plans” ▪ Miscellaneous: 10 percent of the total (including taxes) to cover cost overruns 11
43% of Michigan Households Cannot Afford the Basics 12
Financial hardship is increasing over time Household income, 2010 to 2017 Despite improvement in employment and gains in median income, the economic recovery in Michigan has been uneven. Increases in the cost of living and flat wages have pushed additional households below the Threshold and into financial hardship. The total number of Michigan households that cannot afford basic needs increased 6 percent from 2010 to 2017. 13 Source: American Community Survey, 2017, and the ALICE Threshold, 2017
