2026 Indices for Ohio Qualified Allocation Plans
This page presents the Ohio Opportunity Indices, developed in partnership with the Ohio Housing Finance Agency (OHFA). The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program is a federal incentive used to finance the construction and rehabilitation of affordable rental housing. Ohio Housing Finance Agency’s 9 Percent LIHTC Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP) sets forth the selection criteria used to determine housing priorities and direct credits to developments across the state.
Cross-lagged analysis of depression symptoms and internet addiction tendencies among first-year university students and the moderating effects of urban–rural background and sibling status
Abstract Objective: To reveal the reciprocal predictive relationship between depressive symptoms (PHQ-9) and internet addiction tendencies (IAT) among first-year university students, and to compare differences across urban-rural backgrounds and only-child status, providing a basis for targeted interventions. Methods: This study conducted follow-up surveys of 6, 070 freshmen of the 2023 cohort at a university in Jingzhou, Hubei Province, in October 2023 and May 2024.
Measuring Community Capitals
Every community has unique and varied resources, or capitals, it can leverage to support the well-being of its residents. These capitals include typical economic assets, such as the wealth and property of local residents and institutions, as well as cultural institutions, community connections, the natural environment, and other resources.
Building an Effective Transit Workforce
Public transportation systems across the United States move millions of Americans every day. But since the COVID-19 pandemic, many transit agencies have struggled to provide adequate service. The financial difficulties some agencies face have restricted service and have limited some agencies’ ability to meet riders’ needs.
How Big Upzonings Affect Housing Supply
Proponents of upzoning—the process of reforming land-use laws to increase the scale of potential new construction—argue that cities should change their policies to allow greater housing density, which in turn can lead to more housing development and make homes more affordable. Many cities have upzoned neighborhoods to encourage greater housing supply, but whether and to what extent these upzonings generate more housing is not yet resolved.
Mandating Density Near Transit
Transit-oriented development (TOD) creates dense, mixed-use, and walkable communities close to stations served by frequent and reliable public transportation. It can reduce transportation costs, pollution, and traffic congestion while increasing transit ridership and accommodating growth. US states are increasingly focusing development near transit. In all but one state, the rate of housing growth near rail stations was more rapid than the statewide rate during the period from 2010 to 2020.
The Financial Feasibility of Transit-Oriented Development
Housing permitting has declined across the United States since 2022, even though the nation needs more homes to meet demand. To help ramp up housing supply, many states and localities are promoting transit-oriented development (TOD), the concentration of construction in neighborhoods adjacent to public transportation. But successful TOD depends on a real estate market in which projects “pencil out,” meaning they are financially feasible.
Tracking Transit-Oriented Development
Transit-oriented development (TOD) is a built environment that is dense, diverse, walkable, and served by effective public transportation options. It holds promise for creating vibrant, accessible, and equitable communities. Existing efforts to track TOD remain underdeveloped, but measuring how communities compare in implementation can establish trends and identify potential areas of concern.
Guide to Identify and Mitigate the Negative Effects of Gentrification Caused by Transportation Investment
Local and state governments across the United States spend billions of dollars each year building new transportation projects—including roadways, bike lanes, and rail lines. These investments play an important role in expanding access to employment, recreation, and services for Americans. That improved mobility and its associated neighborhood improvements, such as new station facilities, can also contribute to neighborhood demographic change.

Why US Cities Are Investing in Safer, More-Connected Cycling Infrastructure
This article originally appeared on Urban Wire, the blog of the Urban Institute, and is republished with permission. Every year, hundreds of cyclists die in traffic crashes in the United States. Their experience is a product of high-speed roads, drivers who fail to acknowledge the people around them, and most importantly, street infrastructure that’s unsafe for bikers.
Why US Cities Are Investing in Safer, More-Connected Cycling Infrastructure
Every year, hundreds of cyclists die in traffic crashes in the United States. Their experience is a product of high-speed roads, drivers who fail to acknowledge the people around them, and most importantly, street infrastructure that’s unsafe for bikers. To address this problem, many US cities have committed to the Vision Zero goal of eliminating all traffic fatalities and severe injuries. One key approach for many cities is improving bike lanes and other facilities.
Making the Case for Improved Bicycling Infrastructure
To stimulate municipal investment in cycling infrastructure, between 2019 and 2021 the Final Mile program funded communications, advocacy, and engineering in five US cities: Austin, Denver, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, and Providence. To examine the program's effectiveness, we conducted interviews with community stakeholders and collected data on bike network extent and location.
How Can Cities Rapidly Expand Access to Cycling Infrastructure?
The transportation sector is the largest single generator of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. One big reason: Americans drive a lot, rarely use other forms of transportation, and emit a lot of carbon dioxide in the process. Only 1 percent of all trips Americans take, even those over short distances, are by bicycle. There’s plenty of room for improvement. In the Netherlands, 27 percent of workers commute by bike thanks to accessible, safe, and clean cycling networks.
Capturing Shared Impacts of the Partners for Rural Transformation
Rural areas are places of underappreciated diversity, cultural vitality, and economic innovation and resiliency. But persistent poverty is holding back about one in seven rural counties. With a goal to transform the fortunes and futures of rural and Native communities, the Partners for Rural Transformation (PRT) centers community needs and hopes in its work.
Perceptions of Eviction Likelihood Among Renters of Color
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to adversely and disproportionately affect Black peoples’ financial well-being and health. Federal, state, and local eviction moratoriums can help mitigate racial disparities by supporting Black renters and other tenants of color. But landlords may not always comply with eviction moratoriums or may issue more informal threats of eviction—and renters are often unaware of their legal protections.
Ethics and Empathy in Using Imputation to Disaggregate Data for Racial Equity: Landscape Scan Findings
Ethics and Empathy in Using Imputation to Disaggregate Data for Racial Equity: Landscape Scan Findings Abstract Disaggregation of data by race and ethnicity is a critical tool for shining a light on racialized systems of privilege and oppression. Despite strong ethical and practical reasons for disaggregating data along these lines, many high-value datasets lack sufficient information on race and ethnicity.
Understanding the Black-White Homeownership Gap in the Twin Cities
Homeownership offers an avenue for families to build wealth and find stability in a community. But access to homeownership in the Twin Cities, just as in the rest of the United States, is not equitably distributed. In fact, the Twin Cities region has the largest Black-white homeownership gap in the country, and in this fact sheet we show where the gap is growing.
Who Owns the Twin Cities?
In the Twin Cities, housing, economic mobility, and racial equity are inextricably linked. The region is home to the largest Black-white homeownership gap in the nation, rising rents, increasing racialized displacement, and limited opportunities for Black, Indigenous, and people of color and low-income communities to build wealth through property ownership.
Assessing Options for Federal Rental Assistance during the Pandemic
In this brief, the researchers evaluate six programs to disburse federal rental assistance to stabilize the rental market and keep renters housed during the pandemic.
The Pandemic’s Disparate Effects on DC Workers and Neighborhoods
An earlier version of this post displayed the wrong source information for the maps (corrected 4/27/20). What has felt like the longest and toughest month for many Americans is likely just the start of a long series of public health and economic battles. Workers in retail and hospitality, travel arrangement, transportation, and mining are among those most vulnerable to the direct impact of decreased demand because of social distancing measures and government restriction.
Commentary: How Rural Areas Can Avoid Being Undercounted in the Census
Hard-to-count populations aren't just in urban areas. In these states, the percentage of hard-to-count individuals is greater in rural areas than urban ones. (Urban Institute graphic) Amanda Gold and Yipeng Su are research associates at the Urban Institute. This article is republished with permission from Urban Wire, the Urban Institute’s blog.
Rural Communities Aren’t Immune from a Census Undercount. Here’s How They Can Prepare for 2020
In Garden City, Kansas—a small, rural town known for its racial and cultural diversity—the 2010 Census missed 3,500 residents, or 10 percent of the population, according to estimates by local officials (PDF). With the next census less than six months away, officials in rural communities across the US are worried about another undercount. Leaders from several rural communities shared their concern about another undercount in 2020 at an American Communities Project briefing earlier this month.
