Location Affordability Index v 2.0

Description

The Location Affordability Index (LAI) helps to better understand the combined cost of housing and transportation. First launched by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Department of Transportation (DOT) in November 2013, the LAI provides ubiquitous, standardized household housing and transportation cost estimates at the Census block-group level for the majority of the populated area of the United States. Because what is affordable is different for everyone, users can choose among eight household profiles—which vary by household income, size, and number of commuters—and see the impact of the built environment on affordability in a given neighborhood location while holding household demographics constant.
