Two housing celebrations this month provide an opportunity to explore the nation's housing landscape through an economic and lifestyle lens, from the number of homes built to who is struggling to pay for housing and how many homes have more than three bedrooms or bathrooms.
American Housing Month [ [link removed] ] and National Homeownership Month [ [link removed] ] celebrate the value of homeownership to families and communities and the ways banks and other public and private institutions can help people reach their housing goals.
And the Census Bureau provides the data needed to build a complete picture of housing activity in the United States.
