About the AEI Housing Center
These tools quantify and visualize the nation's housing shortage, and show how modest increases in density can help solve it.
The AEI Housing Center has three primary objectives: provide transparent and objective mortgage and housing market trends at unprecedented levels of detail; foster a stable system of mortgage finance that promotes sustainable homeownership; and develop market-based solutions to the nation’s shortage of economical housing. We pursue these objectives through the use of the best available data and by producing rigorous research on important policy issues.
