Florida Housing Data Project
A flourishing local housing market that meets the current and future needs of a range of households is essential for economic sustainability.
Developed by housing economists for the DeVoe L. Moore Institute at Florida State University, the Florida Policy Project, and Reason Foundation, the tool allows residents and elected officials to see local-level housing trends, track shortages in single-family and rental units, and understand whether their local market has been in balance, surplus, or deficit over time.
