论文摘要
美国传统的租赁住房数据来源，例如美国社区调查和有关交易市场的美国住房调查报告 - 现有租房者每月支付的费用。他们没有明确地告诉我们现货市场 - 即，当前的HomeSeekers必须付费以获取住房的租金 - 尽管通常被用作代理人。这项研究将政府数据与数百万同期的租赁清单进行了比较，发现租金与这些最新估计的差异很大。传统的住房数据低估了当前的市场状况和负担能力挑战，尤其是在租赁市场紧密而昂贵的城市。
Traditional US rental housing data sources such as the American Community Survey and the American Housing Survey report on the transacted market - what existing renters pay each month. They do not explicitly tell us about the spot market - i.e., the asking rents that current homeseekers must pay to acquire housing - though they are routinely used as a proxy. This study compares governmental data to millions of contemporaneous rental listings and finds that asking rents diverge substantially from these most recent estimates. Conventional housing data understate current market conditions and affordability challenges, especially in cities with tight and expensive rental markets.
