Just over 82% of all metros in the US were considered unaffordable in August (i.e., the median-income household in the metro area would need to spend more than 30% of its annual income to afford the median-priced home).

A recent Policy Hub paper shows that while shipping cost changes usually have little effect on producer prices, broad and persistent shocks—like those during the pandemic—lead to much stronger and delayed pass‑through costs.
