After a tremendous year of work, I'm pleased to announce that the National Housing Crisis Task Force has released its State & Local Housing Action Plan. With 15 bold ideas to address the housing shortage, we hope this plan can help local leaders act now. nationalhousingcrisis.org/app/uploads/...

Amtrak certainly claims that they have 80% market share.

Here's what it looks like locally. While commuting backbones (below) are mostly constrained by the MSA boundaries, landlord market areas extend nationally.

I calculate the landlord market area by taking the network backbone from the landlord-property network I create. Hotspots include California, Florida, Texas, and Georgia. These are sights of large landlords, but also significant personal wealth, retirees, and more.

2) Landlords live in neighborhoods that are on average, richer, whiter, and more educated than the neighborhoods where they own property. To test for statistical significance, I create a simulated randomized network of landlord and rental locations. I run 1,000 simulations.
