Given the dramatic impacts of COVID-19 on housing and employment, this year's Housing Fact Book has incorporated new relevant indicators. While the 2020 Housing Fact Book (.PDF) is based on pre-pandemic 2019 data, current mid-year data has been added to provide insight into employment and economic challenges present just before quarantine.
For the first time, we have also included data related to racial and ethnic disparities which highlight stark inequities prior to the pandemic. By adding this new dimension to our analysis, the Housing Fact Book will better inform housing recovery, planning, and policies.
