2017 National Rental Housing Landscape

Research & Policy | October 5th 2017

Today the NYU Furman Center launches its 2017 National Rental Housing Landscape, which explores rental housing trends in America's largest metro areas. Released annually by the NYU Furman Center, the National Rental Housing Landscape observes trends and makes available data on renter demographics, renter households, renter housing affordability, and the rental housing stock for each metropolitan area in the study.

The 2017 report finds that the majority of large U.S. metros saw an increase in the share of households that rented their homes, which was primarily driven by rise in higher-income and highly-educated households choosing to rent. Affordability challenges persist for low-income households, with high rent premiums for movers and historically high rent burdens across U.S. metros.Read the full report, view a summary of key findings, or watch the live launch event.
