Property Decision Data
Open property studies by Ahmadreza Samadi, with source years, geography, assumptions, methods and practical decision tools.
Property Decision Data is my series for checking what a housing number can and cannot support. Read the population, geography, source year and assumptions before comparing results.
Rent and ownership cash-budget scenarios
2026 edition using ACS 2024 owner-stock values and HUD FY2027 gross rents. Explicit hypothetical budgets retain distinct HUD areas; they are not matched-property yields or observed returns.
Metro rent burden: ACS 2024
Public data, chart, dictionary, workbook and method notes. Compare metropolitan rent pressure with the stated denominator and coverage; this is not a property-level affordability estimate.
