Abstract

Between 2012 and 2022, most of the 50 most populous metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) experienced increases in the concentration of households participating in the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program locating into fewer census tracts. Examining a map for changes in HCV households for the Tampa, Florida, MSA, which saw the largest increase in concentration during that period, revealed that the decline in HCV program households by census tract was widespread, and increases occurred in only about one-third of census tracts, particularly near where public housing used to be.
