NAHBNow
NAHB has added New York, Los Angeles, Washington, Philadelphia, Miami and Phoenix to its exclusive series of maps detailing metro areas where the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) is used to develop new affordable homes. Members can use these maps to better understand the distribution of LIHTC housing in select metropolitan areas and identify where additional housing may be needed.
The maps show each census tract in 20 of the largest U.S. metro areas. Clicking on a specific tract will bring up data from HUD’s LIHTC database and the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey: the percentage of low-income residents, the unit share of tax-credit rentals, the poverty rate, median household income, the unemployment rate and more.
