Profile of trends in home prices, unit rents, cost burden by tenure, threat of evictions, and developing mitigation strategies for the nation and Atlanta metro
The document provides an overview of housing affordability in the Atlanta region based on a study by the Atlanta Regional Commission. It finds that the number of cost-burdened renter households has increased steadily over the last decade while the number of cost-burdened owner households has declined. Recently, the greatest increase in cost-burdened households has been among those with annual incomes of $35,000 to $50,000. The document also analyzes housing affordability trends and statistics in 10 subareas that make up the Atlanta region.
Home Ownership snapshot (september 2021) v oct 1ARCResearch
This document provides a summary of key trends related to homeownership in the Atlanta region from 2021. It finds that while home prices have risen rapidly during the pandemic, the housing market appears to be cooling in recent months. The homeownership rate has declined over the last 20 years nationally and regionally. From 2012-2019, the number of owner households increased by 135k, driven by households earning $75k or more. The proportion of cost-burdened owners has declined, but this mostly reflects lower-income households being priced out. The Black-White homeownership gap remains wide and has widened in most counties over the past decade.
The document summarizes housing affordability trends in metro Atlanta. Home prices have risen faster than wages since 2011, and fewer affordable homes are being built. While home prices in north Atlanta and northern suburbs have appreciated the most since 2000, prices in southern areas have declined. When factoring in transportation costs, true housing affordability is even more constrained, with over half of average household income spent on housing and transportation across the region.

Final ARC 2020 Population Estimates-Summary DeckARCResearch
The Atlanta region grew by 63,600 people between 2019 and 2020 to a total population of 4,692,000 according to new estimates. This represents slower growth than in previous years, likely due to a slowdown in job growth. Gwinnett County saw the largest increase of 15,500 new residents. Population growth has slowed in the City of Atlanta as well, with 7,700 new residents compared to over 10,000 the prior year. Overall, residential building permits in the region declined from the previous year, remaining below pre-recession levels. The 2020 Census data may supersede these estimates and is expected to show impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on population trends.
The document summarizes key findings from a 2019 survey of metro Atlanta residents about perceptions of life and issues in the region. Some of the main topics covered include transportation remaining the top concern, strong support for expanding public transit but declining support for related tax increases, an economy seen as generally strong but with inequality issues, and neighborhood changes linked to declining housing affordability. Nearly half of respondents favored expanding public transit as the best long-term solution to traffic problems, though support varied by county.
Regional Snapshot: Affordable Housing - July 2017 ARCResearch
- Home ownership and household formation rates have declined dramatically compared to historic trends, while home prices have risen significantly faster than wages due to dwindling housing supply. Adding transportation costs further worsens housing affordability.
- Rental costs have also risen sharply, especially in the suburbs, while the number of affordable units, particularly for extremely low-income households, has decreased.
- Most affordable housing is located in low-opportunity areas, maintaining the cycle of generational poverty.
The Atlanta region population grew by over 78,000 people between 2016 and 2017, with Fulton County experiencing the largest growth of 17,100 new residents. While population growth has slowed compared to previous decades, the 2017 increase was higher than the annual average of the 1990s and 2000s. Most new residential development, both single and multi-family, is occurring in the northern suburbs of the region. The City of Atlanta permitted over 8,000 new units in 2016, mostly multi-family, more than any other jurisdiction.

Victoria Real Estate Board Statistics - November 2021VickyAulakh1
The Victoria real estate market saw fewer home sales in November 2021 compared to the previous year and month. While demand remains strong, the low inventory of available homes is putting upward pressure on home prices. The average price of a single-family home increased 24.2% year-over-year in the Victoria Core area. Real estate officials say increasing housing supply is needed to relieve market pressures, but government policies have focused on demand-side measures without industry input.
This represents a 4.9 percent increase in the last year alone, and a nearly 29.0 percent increase since 2005. National vacancy rates are at their lowest levels since the 1980s.
U.S. homeownership declined to 63.4 percent, the lowest rate since 1967. Homeownership rates slide as wage growth lags and tighter standards for mortgage lending act as substantial barriers to entry.
This month's regional snapshot provides an assessment of regional housing affordability in the Atlanta region. Starting with a review of historic trends in housing construction and costs, the snapshot then steps through the definition of regional "subareas" based on inventory, price, and affordability characteristics.

- The real estate board president said greater commitment to development is needed to address the long-term low inventory levels driving up
This document discusses Wisconsin's economic recovery and labor market challenges. It notes that while the economic recovery is underway, Wisconsin faces a labor quantity challenge as the workforce is not growing quickly enough. Technology will continue to advance and impact jobs through automation. The chief economist analyzes various factors influencing the labor supply and demand balance such as demographics, migration patterns, childcare access, wages, and automation. He discusses potential solutions like immigration, skills training, and increasing wages but notes fixing the workforce issue will require macro-level solutions.
Home sales in Metro Vancouver dipped to the lowest level seen in March in over 30 years according to a report from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. Sales totalled 1,727 in March 2019, down 31.4% from March 2018. The total number of homes currently listed is also up 52.4% compared to March 2018. The president of the Real Estate Board attributed the downturn to government policies that have imposed new taxes and regulations on the housing market in recent years, arguing these measures sideline buyers in the short term but do not eliminate long term demand for housing. Benchmark home prices were down across all major property types compared to the previous year.

RealPulseAZ - February 2021 - Market ReviewNathan Holman
The document provides an overview of the US housing market in February 2021. It summarizes existing home sales data from 2020, forecasts for home sales and prices in 2021 from various analysts, and projections for mortgage rates. It also discusses factors that may impact housing inventory levels in 2021 such as homeowners waiting for vaccines before listing. The average forecasted home price increase for 2021 across analysts is 5%.
The document summarizes economic trends in Atlanta and nationally. It finds that while recovery from the recession continues, with GDP and employment increasing, progress has been slow. Job growth has primarily occurred in lower-wage sectors, holding down wage growth. Unemployment rates remain higher for minorities and less educated groups. However, leading indicators like increasing job postings in high-tech fields, rising patent activity, and forecasts predict potential growth in higher-wage sectors going forward.
Sales of single family homes in the Victoria area increased 15.5% in August 2019 compared to August 2018, while condo sales rose 4.1%. The number of active listings decreased 12.7% year-over-year. Median home prices were mixed - the benchmark price for single family homes fell 4.6% to $847,300, while the condo benchmark price rose 2.9% to $518,100. The real estate board president noted stable pricing overall with entry-level homes selling quickly when priced right and higher-end properties moving more slowly.
Thomvest Ventures Research's 2023 Housing Market Health Check analyzes shifting dynamics impacting supply, demand, affordability, mortgage activity and loan performance. Key takeaways: plunging affordability threatening homebuyers, construction lagging enduring demand, forecasted sales rebound after significant 2023 declines, and delinquencies remaining near historic lows despite uncertainty. The report offers insight into the market's sharp cooldown while providing an optimistic long view.

Final Jobs and Wages Snapshot Slide Deck2024ARCResearch
The document provides an overview of the job market and economy in metro Atlanta. Some key points:
- Metro Atlanta's employment growth over the past decade has been stronger than the national average, and its recovery from the pandemic is among the strongest of peer cities.
- Information and management jobs are relative strengths of the metro Atlanta economy.
- While all industries have more jobs now than before the pandemic, some like information and transportation have lost jobs in the past year.
- Inflation recently dropped significantly in metro Atlanta after outpacing wage growth for two years.
- Registered nurses and software developers remain the most in-demand occupations by employers. Occupations recovering from pandemic losses are also seeing increased demand.
Regional Snapshot: Health Disparities Abound
The document summarizes health disparities in the Atlanta region. It finds that while the metro Atlanta area is relatively healthy overall compared to the rest of Georgia, there are significant racial disparities in health outcomes. Across a wide range of indicators such as infant mortality, diabetes hospital visits, and life expectancy, Black populations consistently have poorer health outcomes than white populations. These disparities are also spatial, with poorer health outcomes concentrated in the southern parts of the region where poverty is also higher. Factors like access to insurance, transportation, and broadband internet contribute to these disparities. The document uses charts and maps to illustrate differences in outcomes, causes of death, hospitalization rates,
This document discusses the biggest challenges facing the Atlanta region including crime, economy, transportation, and human services. It is from the website atlantaregional.org/metroatlantaspeaks which focuses on issues impacting the Atlanta metropolitan area.
This document provides a regional snapshot of the Metro Atlanta cost of living in October 2023. It finds that Metro Atlanta's overall cost of living is almost exactly the national average, with a score of 100.4 on the C2ER Cost of Living Index. While Atlanta's health care costs are slightly higher than peers, utility costs are lower, offsetting the higher health care. The document also examines how costs have increased in Atlanta since 2000, with medical and transportation costs rising the most. Housing plays a large role in determining differences in cost of living between urban areas.
Among the fifteen most populous metro areas, metro Atlanta ranks fourth in overall homeownership rates. Homeownership rates vary greatly across the metro Atlanta region and are highest for Asian residents but lowest for Black and Hispanic residents. Cobb and Gwinnett Counties have the largest differences in homeownership rates between White and Black residents, while Fayette County has a much smaller gap. Mortgage data shows White homebuyers purchasing homes in majority Black areas of DeKalb County and central Fulton County.
Choice Hotels International is seeking to acquire Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, a deal that would create one of the largest budget hotel owners. The companies are each valued at around $6 billion but are not currently in serious talks. If no deal is reached, Choice could make an offer directly to Wyndham shareholders. Wyndham shares rose on the news while Choice shares dropped. Both companies focus on budget-conscious travelers. Choice says the deal would help its goal of expanding in upper-midscale and upscale segments. The hotel industry is recovering as travelers return, but it was battered early in the pandemic when travel halted globally.
The document provides an overview of aging trends in the Atlanta region. It notes that the population aged 65+ has nearly doubled since 1960 and will almost double again by 2050 to over 21% of the population. Currently Fayette County has the highest percentage of older residents while Clayton County has the lowest. The number of older people employed rebounded after the pandemic and is now the highest in 5 years, with those aged 65+ making up a growing share of total employment. The working age population is forecast to increase only 17% by 2050 compared to a 46% rise in non-working ages, reducing the dependency ratio.
This document provides a summary of data from the 100 Metros dashboard about the Atlanta metro area and how it compares to other large metro areas in the US. The data is organized into categories including demographics, housing, education/technology, health, employment, economic development, and commuting. Some key findings are that Atlanta's population ranks 8th largest nationally and grew faster than most other large metros from 2021-2022. The metro area also ranks high for housing permits, job growth, and median home sale price increases but lower for median income and average hourly wages.
1. Metro Atlanta surpassed 3 million jobs for the first time in October 2022, with employment recovering strongly from pandemic lows in early 2020.
2. Registered Nurses remain the most in-demand occupation according to job postings data, though demand is growing fastest for lower-wage jobs in areas like freight, food service, and retail.
3. Inflation has risen faster in metro Atlanta than national averages over the past year, increasing just over 8%, partly due to high population growth driving up housing costs.
The document analyzes migration patterns of young adults aged 16-26 between 2000-2018 moving to and from the Atlanta metropolitan area. It finds that the largest share of in-migration to Atlanta comes from low-income Black movers, making up 78% of all young movers. The top origins for migration are New York City and Miami, while the top destination for out-migration from Atlanta is LaGrange, Georgia. Overall, Atlanta sees far more in-migration from populations of color compared to white populations, and has one of the lowest rates of in-migration from white young adults among peer cities.
Rental presentation - with annotation.pdfARCResearch
The document summarizes rental housing affordability trends in the Atlanta metro region. It finds that over the past 5 years, rent growth in Atlanta has been the second highest among major US metros behind only Miami. Rents in the Atlanta suburbs like Forsyth County have increased the most. There has also been a decrease in affordable rental units renting for under $1250 and an increase in units renting for over $1250 from 2014-2020. Higher rents are pushing more people to file for evictions, with filings on the rise since early 2022. Census tracts with more millennials and closer to downtown Atlanta tend to have higher rental costs.
According to the document:
- Atlanta's overall cost of living is slightly above the national average, with housing costs being 13% higher but utility costs 13.4% lower than average.
- To have equivalent purchasing power in Manhattan as $50,000 in Atlanta, one would need to earn over $120,000, while only $49,900 would be needed in Dallas.
- Atlanta's consumer price index has increased 54% since 2000, with medical and transportation costs rising the most.

Atlanta Region Eviction Tracker
metroatlhousing.org/eviction-tracker
In September 2020, in collaboration with Georgia Tech
and the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, the ARC
released the Atlanta Region Eviction Tracker. The
tracker is updated weekly, although Fulton County’s
census tract-level counts have been unavailable since
September 2020 due to the omission of addresses
from the case details provided via the Fulton
Magistrate Court public search site.

Eviction Tracking Team
23. § While eviction filings are not the same as evictions themselves, they do portend potential
displacement and housing instability for those against which the filings are initiated.
§ The lapse in the federal eviction moratorium and $600 unemployment add-on in August was
evidenced by a 96% higher number of filings across the 5-county region for first week of
September compared to the same week in 2019.
§ While filings were low during the summer lockdown (only spiking with the lapse of the eviction
moratorium and additional UI assistance), they have since been rising toward pre-pandemic levels
§ While the CDC-issued ban on evictions (extended to March 31st by the Biden administration) goes
a long way to protect renters from being ejected from their homes for the moment, it does not
address the accrued missed rent payments.

Identifying Hotspots of Eviction Filings
27. Regional Housing Snapshot 2021
Estimating Need and Targeting
Rental Assistance The Urban Institute’s Rental Assistance Priority Index was
a good predictor of where filings were being reported in
the early stages of the pandemic. As such, we were able
to use this index along along with American Community
Survey estimates of the number lower-income / high-cost-
burdened households to arrive at a rough guess of about
83K households potentially needing rental assistance due
to the COVID pandemic in the ARC 10-County Region.

Tenant Assistant Programs within the Region
§ DeKalb County – using $21 million allocated in December as part of the second federal stimulus package – is
currently accepting applications via its Tenant-Landlord Assistance Coalition (TLAC) to provide assistance
(including rent, rent arrearage, utilities, utility arrearage and other housing costs) for households impacted by
the pandemic and earning 80% or less of area median income (based on family composition and size).
§ Fulton County - with $18 million from the same pot of money of federal money as DeKalb – began accepting
applications to its rental assistance program on March 1st.
§ Using both CARES Act and philanthropic money, the non-profit Star-C has been providing direct assistance
throughout the pandemic for residents across the metro region via its Eviction Relief Fund.
§ Launched in September 2020, Saving Our Atlanta Region’s Residents (SOARR) was created by a consortium of
non-profits and local advocacy groups, including the ARC, to raise and disburse philanthropic money to address
the issue region-wide. Application requirements and a portal for accessing this assistance is forthcoming.
§ The Atlanta Volunteer Legal Fund (AVLF) is providing free legal advice and help to those facing eviction in
Fulton County. Atlanta Legal Aid is providing a similar service for residents of Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb,
and Clayton counties.
