Description
Overview Housing and transportation affordability index independently reproduced using the Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT) H+T Index methodology. Combines housing costs with modeled transportation costs (auto ownership, vehicle miles traveled, and transit use) as a percentage of household income for a Regional Typical Household. Transportation costs are derived from three regression models with 17 independent variables computed from ACS demographics, LEHD employment data, TIGER geographic boundaries, and GTFS transit schedules at block group resolution. This dataset is produced by the Social Data Commons at the University of Virginia as part of the Affordability Index data pipeline. Provenance Independently reproduced using the methodology published by the Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT). Regression coefficients from CNT Tables 3-6 are applied to 17 independent variables computed from American Community Survey data, LEHD Origin-Destination Employment Statistics, TIGER geographic data, and GTFS transit feeds. Block group estimates are aggregated to tract and county via unweighted means. Coverage Temporal coverage: 2015–2024 (annual, ACS 5-year + GTFS + LEHD)…
