The latest Pennsylvania Comprehensive Housing Study, released by the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA) and produced in collaboration with the Housing Initiative at the University of Pennsylvania, explores statewide trends for housing. The 48-page report includes charts, tables and analysis of the latest housing data, and this year added findings on the special topics of manufactured housing, lead water infrastructure, rural housing and broadband access. A supplement to the report includes the most recent county-by-county breakdown of statistics and insights pertaining to housing. In addition to the report, PHFA has introduced an online dashboard called the Pennsylvania Housing Data Explorer. The data in the dashboard on housing trends cover all 67 Pennsylvania counties and draw on a variety of sources, including the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
