Houston, TX Fair Housing Equity Assessment

To support the Houston-Galveston planning council’s Fair Housing Equity Assessment (FHEA), we conducted data analysis, best practices review, and strategy recommendations. We developed a customized “community opportunity” model that quantifies access to opportunity at the Census tract level. The model measures residents’ access to opportunity using the amount of affordable housing, balanced housing stock, elementary school quality, poverty, crime, job growth/loss, availability of adult education facilities, and access to grocery stores and health clinics.
