This $625,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports the development of a Neighborhood Rental Database. The database leverages real-time rental data from major online platforms to provide researchers, policymakers, and the public with timely, representative information on local rent levels across the United States. The database tracks key rental market metrics like mean, median, and standard deviation of listed rents, as well as the 40th percentile rent used to set limits for federally funded housing assistance. The award allows scientists to aggregate and standardize this rental data to enable analysis of housing dynamics, the impacts of economic changes, and the evaluation of housing policies. There are no planned sub-awards under this grant, which has an award date of April 1, 2025 and an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2029.
