2025 State of Housing in Houston.
Why This Matters
For Renters: Rent jumped 9% in one year. Many families must choose between rent and other basic needs.
For Homebuyers: Home prices rose faster than incomes. The typical family can't afford the typical home.
For Communities: Over 500,000 people live in areas threatened by floods, heat, and bad air.
For Policy Makers: Climate and housing problems are connected. Solutions must address both.
For Our Future: Houston is becoming less affordable and less safe to live in.
