    Growing But Unequal: Mapping High Opportunity Areas and Implications for Affordable Housing
    (Kinder Institute for Urban Research, 2017) Nostikasari, Dian; Shelton, Kyle; Morin, Taylor; Walker, Kelsey
    This report looks at the relationship between LIHTC projects and areas receiving full points on the 2016 QAP compared to the 2017 QAP’s Opportunity Index. It finds that the bulk of LIHTC properties continue to be located in places where they represent large shares of multifamily units and that LIHTC properties remain separate from those areas of Harris County that could be called the highest opportunity areas. Finally, using the Census Bureau’s Longitudinal Employment and Household Dynamic dataset, it explores the employment opportunities to residents within and outside areas with LIHTC properties. The findings underscore the importance of balancing high opportunity housing with meaningful revitalization efforts.
