Housing Indicators

Housing indicators are critical to planning and policymaking. Homeownership rates, vacancy rates, foreclosures and rental prices are potential indicators of neighborhood stability. In some areas, communities worry that the rising cost of housing may place hardships on families or dampen business growth. Housing data can be useful in creating policies to promote private investment, or to address address homelessness, affordable housing, land use and smart growth.
