Rent expenses continue to soar across the nation, eating a larger share of people's incomes.
A report by Zillow.com showed households with a median rent of $1,179 used 30.3 percent of their income to pay for it.
That's up nearly a full percentage point from last year.
Moody's reports the average rent in the United States is more than $1,500 a month and will increase more than 10 percent this year.
