“It’s extremely hard for Black families, in particular, and also Latino families to create generational wealth through property ownership,” said Hal Dardick, director of research affairs for the treasurer’s office. “And the fact that they get taxed at higher rates can make it even more difficult to build that wealth.

“In the region, we have seen a growth in population, we have seen a growth in housing units,” Smith said. “The rate of change is not as high as the U.S., probably because we had some surplus still and some challenges from the recession. And the big question mark is, if we’re going to use this data to add to or increase development, who is it going to be for?”
