In the previous post, I looked at median gross rent and median household income growth from 2005 - 2023 according to the American Community Survey. But that analysis was only at the national level.

Background The 1-year ACS data was released last month. Every year, the release is exciting to me since it means the time series of available data gets a little longer.

Background The Housing Choice Voucher program is the United States’s largest rental assistance program, providing rental subsidies to over 2.3 million households. Location of Voucher Households HUD provides geographic data on its assisted households in a variety of ways.
