Research for more just, resilient communities
HOUSED Lab bridges housing needs and economic development through rigorous, transparent, and community-engaged research.
01
Housing is where opportunity begins
We use data, fieldwork, and emerging technology to understand how housing markets and public policy shape everyday life—from displacement and property conditions to extreme heat.
Our focus
Evidence that moves communities forward
01
Housing Markets
We develop new indices to track housing prices at the scale of small cities and neighborhoods.
02
Gentrification & Displacement
We track residential mobility at the household level to reveal patterns hidden by conventional measures.
03
Housing Conditions
We pair community knowledge with artificial intelligence to help target housing rehabilitation resources.
Research in action
From neighborhood data to public impact
Our work connects environmental planning, regional science, and economic development. We collaborate with residents, public agencies, and fellow researchers to produce evidence people can use.
