Housing Outcomes
Local jurisdictions submitted data to enable the region to track housing production, preservation, and rental affordability.
Structural Racism
Discriminatory actions and racist public policies have produced inequitable outcomes for Black, Indigenous, and people of color in the Washington region, including lower incomes and wealth, lower homeownership rates, and higher rates of housing cost burden.
