Home Attainability Index
The Terwilliger Center’s Home Attainability Index, created in partnership with real estate consulting firm RCLCO, is a data-rich resource for understanding the extent to which a housing market is providing a range of choices attainable to the regional workforce. Now in its fifth iteration, the Index will be updated annually to reflect changing market patterns.
