    • Location Affordability Index v 1.0

    Metadata Updated: March 1, 2024

    The Location Affordability Index (LAI) helps to better understand the combined cost of housing and transportation. The LAI estimates the percentage of a family’s income dedicated to the combined cost of housing and transportation in a given location. Because what is “affordable” is different for everyone, users can choose among a diverse set of family profiles—which vary by household income, size, and number of commuters—and see the affordability landscape for each in a given neighborhood, city, or region.
