Pennsylvania Housing Studies
Housing Data Explorer
Introducing the Pennsylvania Housing Data Explorer.
In collaboration between PHFA and the Housing Initiative at Penn, we created an online dashboard that shows current housing trends across Pennsylvania counties. The information is based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau 5-year American Community Survey and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy. Please visit the PA Housing Data Explorer website for more information.
Housing Reports
The Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency regularly commissions studies on various facets of the housing market in Pennsylvania. These studies help us ensure that our policies and programs are in sync with current market conditions and future trends. We post those studies here for the benefit of other housing professionals and anyone interested in the topic of affordable housing. Past studies are archived here so that they remain easily accessible by the public.
