Three distinct text elements, clearly labeled:
Chart headline: One sentence, active voice, states the finding (e.g., "Rental costs in mid-sized cities outpaced wage growth every year from 2018 to 2025"). Maximum 12 words.
Introductory sentence: One to two sentences placed above or beside the chart. Tells the reader what to look for and why it matters. Plain English, no jargon, no hedge language unless the data genuinely requires it.
Caption / annotation: One to three sentences below or beside the chart. Notes the data source, the time period, any methodological caveats, and — if space allows — a secondary observation from the data.
Chart type: Line chart What it shows: Annual average rent for a two-bedroom apartment in twelve mid-sized cities, compared to median annual wage growth, from 2016 to 2025 Key finding: From 2020 onwards, rent increases outpaced wage growth in ten of the twelve cities, with the gap widest in 2023 Data source: National Housing Survey, Office of Labor Statistics (both public datasets) Time period: 2016–2025 Audience: General news readers Caveats: Data covers formal rental market only; short-term rentals excluded Tone: Neutral news
Chart headline: Rents raced ahead of wages in most mid-sized cities after 2020
Introductory sentence: In ten of twelve cities tracked, the cost of renting a two-bedroom apartment grew faster than the typical worker's annual pay rise every year from 2020 to 2025 — with 2023 marking the widest gap on record.
Caption: Source: National Housing Survey and Office of Labor Statistics, 2016–2025. Figures cover the formal rental market; short-term and informal rentals are not included. Wage growth figures reflect median annual change across all full-time workers in each city.
