Under its new mortgage-relief plan, the Obama administration is staking a claim that most homeowners facing foreclosure should be able to pay 31 percent of their gross income for a mortgage. Not 50 percent or not 60 percent, as is the case with many strapped homeowners. But 31 percent of income still is a hefty number.
Those with earnings in the lowest 20 percent of income spent an average of 15.4 percent of their income on food. Households with incomes in the middle 20 percent spent 12.6 percent of income on food. Households in the highest 20 percent of income spent 11.2 percent of their income on food.
