Abstract
By examining new data sources and releases, this research further explores dynamics addressed in the “Unaffordable Housing” brief (1:7) published in July 2022 by the SC Commission for Minority Affairs. By integrating data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Federal Reserve Economic Data, this research spotlights major socioeconomic dynamics and connections between affordable housing, vacant houses, and householder age patterns in South Carolina. We find that while housing affordability has worsened, the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic turmoil are not the root causes. Further, our work illustrates how these conditions disproportionately affect minority households.
