Metros with growing job opportunities naturally have higher housing shortages than other metros. Huntington-Ashland, WV-KY-OH and Akron, OH were the metros with the most acute housing need in the United States as of December 2023. For every new building permit, there were over 10 new jobs created during that period. The number of housing starts has increased in recent years, but in order for housing needs to be met, homes will need to be built in the metros where they are needed the most.
