DGBAS well-being indicators list rent at 13.7% of income in 2024.
Taiwan’s rent-to-income ratio isolates renter pressure from the broader owner-occupied housing market. DGBAS lists the 2024 rent-to-income indicator at 13.7%, while secondary housing-market reporting notes Taiwan’s rental sector is relatively small because homeownership is high. That distinction matters because rent stress is concentrated among renter households rather than spread across all households.

The national rent-to-income indicator is not the same as city-level rent burden or low-income renter burden. It should not be interpreted as the burden for every renter household.
