NLIHC is carrying out a nationally representative survey of renters—the first of its kind! Our goal is to build upon existing national data about rental housing and renters from sources like the U.S. Census Bureau by asking renters across the country about their housing-related experiences and opinions.
We are working with ICF, an experienced survey research firm, to survey thousands of renters across the U.S. online and by phone in both English and in Spanish. Renters who participate will be compensated for their time. The survey began in July 2025 and ICF is currently collecting responses. We expect to publish early results in winter 2026.
