Data + Donuts // Understanding rental market trends during the pandemic

Whitney Airgood-Obrycki (Senior Research Associate) and Sophia Wedeen (Research Analyst) work on research related to affordable rental housing at the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University.

The rental market broke several records over the last two years, including unprecedented rent growth, plunging vacancy rates, surging demand, and booming multifamily construction. Amid these conditions, the pandemic exacerbated and exposed many of the challenges renters faced in the preceding decade. At this session of Data + Donuts, Whitney and Sophia will discuss the challenges of tracking rental market trends during the pandemic, discussing the patchwork data sources available, data disruptions during the pandemic, and the data gaps that remain.
