Indiana Statewide Affordable Housing County Assessment Tool
Included in this overview are demographic data for each county, as well as information about apartment communities VWB Research has surveyed and other properties that have been identified through the IHDCA Tax Credit allocation list. The intent of this information is to provide a snapshot look at the existing properties within the state. Both affordable housing properties and market-rate properties have been included to show our broad coverage of the state.
Demographic theme maps are provided for each county. These maps illustrate:
median household income variations within the county renter share within the county population age 55 and over within the county. The purpose of these maps is to provide a basic demographic picture of each county.

The South Carolina Apartment Research Tool
From March to October 2008, VWB Research surveyed a variety of rental housing alternatives throughout South Carolina. These rentals ranged from single-family homes to large multifamily projects. Each of South Carolina’s 46 counties is represented in this survey. Overall, we surveyed 1,473 properties with a total of 142,485 units. VWB Research representatives surveyed these properties through a combination of telephone calls and on-site inspections.
It is important to note that this survey does not include all rental properties in the state. However, based on our research, this statewide survey includes approximately 75.0% of all published properties in South Carolina. Therefore, the survey is considered representative of housing market conditions in the state.
