A minimum-wage worker can't afford a typical one-bedroom apartment on a single full-time job in 31 Oregon counties.

Even with the minimum-wage hike that took effect this month, a Portland-area worker would need to work more than two jobs -- 81 hours a week -- to make the rent.

In all but a handful of counties, it would take a work week in excess of a 40-hour full-time job. The statewide average is a 65-hour work week.

The numbers from the National Low Income Housing Coalition's "Out of Reach" report show the escalating impact of rising housing costs across the state.

In most of the state's population centers, rents have risen faster than inflation or wages in recent years. Rents have only recently begun to level off in parts of Portland, where thousands of newly built apartments have come on the market.

The study uses fair-market rents, which are determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to set local values for housing vouchers. It considers housing to be affordable when it consumes less than 30 percent of a household's income, a generally accepted measure of affordability used by the federal government.
