Greater Boston housing report highlights affordability crisis
A new report on the state of housing in Greater Boston and Massachusetts overall painted a grim picture of the state of housing, jobs and affordability in the region. The Greater Boston Housing Report Card , released by research group Boston Indicators Nov. 12, found slowing population growth, persistently high housing costs that especially affected renters of color and signs of a weakening job market. "These are uncertain, often capricious times," Interim President of the Boston Foundation Brian Douglas wrote at the beginning of the report. "Yet Greater Boston has weathered change before." Here are five takeaways from the report.

Population change is largely driven by births, deaths and immigration, both domestic and international, and the authors believe that drastic changes to immigration policy in the second Trump administration contributed to the "quick decline." Income needed to afford single-family home continues to rise The estimated yearly income for a household to afford a home in Greater Boston's lower-priced neighborhoods was $181,000
