Visit Knowledge Finder to explore the 2024 Terwilliger Center Home Attainability Index and Report! Developed in partnership with RCLCO, the Index is a data-rich resource for understanding the extent to which a housing market is providing a range of choices attainable to the regional workforce. The data can help identify gaps in home attainability and provide better context to understand residential markets; provide context by connecting housing costs to occupational wages in a given region; and enable national and regional comparisons to inform housing production, policy, and financing decisions.

Interested in learning how to use the Index tools? Join us for a webinar on March 6 at 2PM EST.

Home Attainability Index:
Putting the Numbers Into Practice
March 6, 2024, 2PM EST

Terwilliger Center Leadership will give an overview of exciting new efforts underway at the Center and focus on new research initiatives, specifically the Home Attainability Index. The Index was first launched in 2020 with the goal of collecting, analyzing, and disseminating housing-related data to support the broad range of ULI members and industry practitioners working to address longstanding home affordability challenges. The 2023-2024 edition of the Index takes a new tack — in partnership with consulting firm RCLCO, the project builds on the framework set forth by the pilot editions — releasing a full suite of easy-to-use interactive data tools that can help practitioners unpack housing challenges specific to their locale. The project team will also share key findings from this year’s update and data analysis, demonstrating how these tools can be showcased at the local level.
