Out of Reach

And speaking of housing-related studies being released, the National Low-Income Housing Coalition is releasing their annual Out of Reach report on April 14th. From last year's report:

Despite the emphasis on homeownership and the marginalization of renters, renter households still make up fully one-third of the households in the United States — more than 36 million households. Out of Reach is a side-by-side comparison of wages and rents in every county, Metropolitan Area (MSAs/HMFAs), combined onmetropolitan area and state in the United States.

You can access the report on their site, and keep an eye on the website for the soon-to-be released 2009 report.

NLIHC also produces an excellent Advocates' Guide and again, keep an eye on their website for the newest 2009 edition of the Guide, which I am bravely predicting will be found here when released on or soon after April 15th.
