Tuesdays at APA: “Housing + Transportation Affordability Index”
Tuesday, July 20, 5:30 PM

Under the traditional definition of housing affordability, seven out of ten U.S. communities are considered “affordable” to the typical household. But in almost all metro regions of the country, when the definition of affordability includes both housing and transportation costs, the number of communities affordable to households earning the area median income decreases significantly.

Scott Bernstein and Peter Haas from the Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT) will discuss findings from CNT’s housing and transportation affordability research and share how users can use the Housing+Transportation Affordability Index tool to analyze housing and transportation costs at the neighborhood level.
