What the index measures
The Housing Stability Index evaluates whether housing conditions remain sustainable for residents over time. The score is designed for public-interest interpretation, local reporting, and research use.
Each location receives a 0-100 Housing Stability Score and four component scores covering affordability stability, market volatility, supply pressure, and ownership sustainability.
