Study: Renters’ rise extends beyond big US cities to suburbs
– canadianbusiness.com
NEW YORK, N.Y. – In the American imagination, suburbs are places to buy a house and put down roots. But a growing percentage of suburbanites rent, according to a new study.
About 29 per cent of metropolitan-area suburbanites were renters in 2014, up from 23 per cent in 2006, according to a report being released Tuesday by New York University’s Furman Center real estate think-tank and the bank Capital One.
The finances of home ownership since the mortgage meltdown might be a lead reason for the change, but the cost of renting also is rising in most of the biggest metropolitan areas, the study found.
Adding to data showing a national rise in renters in the past decade, the report zooms in on the metropolitan areas encompassing the nation’s 11 most populous cities: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington. For a national benchmark, the researchers also looked at all metropolitan areas encompassing a city of at least 50,000 people…

Health law fines double for many uninsured at tax time
– canadianbusiness.com
WASHINGTON – Many people who went without health insurance last year are now seeing fines more than double under President Barack Obama’s health care law, tax preparation company H&R Block said Tuesday.
Among its customers who owe a penalty for the 2015 tax year, the average fine is $383, compared with $172 for 2014, the company said.
Separately, among those who complied with the law and took advantage of its taxpayer-subsidized private health insurance, 6 in 10 are now having to pay back to the IRS some portion of their financial assistance. Those payments also are trending higher this year, averaging $579, compared with $530 last tax season.
Although millions of uninsured people have gained coverage through the Affordable Care Act, the update from H&R Block underscores the extent to which the law’s complex provisions remain a challenge for many consumers.
Previously, IRS data had pointed to some of the same problems, as well as an additional concern: many who received subsidies in 2014 failed to file a tax return as required, jeopardizing their future financial aid…
