“…It is evident that the impact of the former was conspicuous during the periods of industrial growth and the effect of the latter became more pervasive in the post-industrial era. In recent years, the world's lowest fertility rate and fastest population aging have reshaped the state's socio-demographic landscape [6,7]. Indeed, the state is expected to be a super-aged society in 2025, and since 2020, it has already witnessed population decline, with the number of total population in the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA) surpassing that in non-SMA regions, deaths outpacing births, and dependent populations (children and elderly people) outnumbering the working-age population [7,8].…”

With the expanding rental sector and rising housing expenses, this research aims to compare the socio-demographic, economic, and housing statuses of renters burdened by housing costs in four regions, and also to explore predictors affecting their residential assessment. Using data from the 2020 Korean Housing Survey, this cross-sectional study identified 245 cost-burdened households whose housing expenses accounted for more than 25% of their total gross income and living expenses. The results revealed that the majority of renters were single-person households residing in single-room occupancy units of multifamily housing, primarily comprising unemployed older adults aged 50 and over. While earning less than half of the minimum wage, the renters’ living expenses fell well below the minimum cost of living, and more than 40% of the expenditure was spent on housing costs, resulting in cost-overburdened households. With the correlation between income, deposit, and rent, the burden of housing costs and the quality of the residential environment varied among regions. Indeed, the residential assessment of the renters was significantly influenced by urban amenities, and both income deficits and excessive housing cost burdens required inclusive and prompt housing interventions including housing assistance, provision of affordable public housing, income transfer, and transitions from renting to Chonsei arrangements.
