Housing Needs Assessment

The Housing Needs Assessment tool, created in partnership with PolicyMap, provides detailed reports for every US Census jurisdiction in the country. Each report presents data, maps, and visualizations describing local demographics and measures of housing affordability, housing stock characteristics, and variations in key housing indicators by race, ethnicity, age and income. These data can help inform local housing strategies.

To access the data for a city or county, simply start typing its name in the Location Bar below. For Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs), click “Location▾” to toggle the search function and then type in the name.
