Amid growing concern about housing affordability, Walmart’s website lists several portable tiny houses for less than $30,000.

“The foldable, portable design allows quick installation, relocation, and reuse across multiple sites,” the listing reads.

Other options include a $29,999 “ Two-Story Tiny House ” sold and shipped by the company THLAND.

Housing affordability is a top concern among many Americans.

About 62 percent of U.S.

adults are “very concerned” about housing costs, according to a Pew Research Center survey from January.

Another poll commissioned by Redfin found that 64 percent of single Americans are struggling to afford their rent or mortgage payments.

Average Americans are also sounding the alarm about the overall cost of living.

A New York Times /Siena poll from January revealed that 65 percent of U.S.

voters believe a middle-class lifestyle is “out of reach for most people,” and 77 percent of voters think such a lifestyle is harder to obtain now than it was a generation ago.

A January survey by The Harris Poll , conducted on behalf of the American Institute of CPAs, also found that 50 percent of respondents who said they set financial goals for 2026 are concerned that the rising cost of living could stop them from reaching those targets.
