    Re-Taking Stock: Understanding How Trends in the Housing Stock and Gentrification are connected in Houston and Harris County
    (Kinder Institute for Urban Research, 2021) Park, John; Guajardo, Luis; Shelton, Kyle; Sherman, Steve; Fulton, William
    Understanding how housing development reshapes communities is essential to discussions about redevelopment and providing residents with access to safe and affordable homes. While new development can mean improved housing conditions, increased supply and shifting home prices, it can also acutely affect communities with older homes and long-term residents with low or fixed incomes. Through seven case studies, this report highlights the different types of housing development that occur when a neighborhood gentrifies. The work expands on prior Kinder Institute studies about countywide gentrification and development.

    The 2022 State of Housing in Harris County and Houston Kinder Houston Area Survey: At the Forefront of a Changing America
    (Kinder Institute for Urban Research, 2022) Park, John; Sherman, Stephen Averill; Guajardo, Luis; Fulton, William; Kinder Institute for Urban Research
    The third annual State of Housing report documents a rapidly changing housing environment in Houston and Harris County. Due to delays in data released from the U.S. Census and the American Communities Survey, the 2022 report relied more on data from other sources, especially the Houston Associations of Realtors (HAR) and the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA). The HAR data, in particular, helped us understand the dramatic changes in the home ownership market, especially rising prices and low inventory. The HMDA data provided us with rich insight into trends in home mortgages.
