Persistence of the Workforce Housing Gap in the Washington, D.C., Metro Area

Despite recent shifts in the regional housing market, land values and home prices in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area remain unattainable for a large potion of workforce households.  While the metro area as a whole experienced an increase in affordability over the past few years, this study finds the workforce households-those with incomes 60 to 100 percent of the area median income (AMI)- are priced out of rental and for-sale housing proximate to major employment centers.

Beltway Burden: The Combined Cost of Housing and Transportation in the Greater Washington DC Metropolitan Area


The Terwilliger Center's most recent report documents the challenges faced by area working families who are forced to "drive 'til they qualify" for housing, incurring higher transportation costs that eventually erode their housing cost savings.

As a complement to Beltway Burden, the Terwilliger Center released the Terwilliger Cost Calculator, which provides consumers with up-to-date Washington, D.C. metro area housing and transportation cost data that they can use to make informed decisions on where to live and work.

"When it comes to development - housing, transportation, energy efficiency - these things aren't mutually exclusive; they go hand in hand.  And that means making sure that affordable housing exists in close proximity to jobs and transportation.  That means encouraging shorter travel times and lower travel costs.  It means safer, greener, more livable communities."

- President Barack Obama, July 13, 2009
