While that is good to have, a glance through the PDF actually says this data is different.
Namely, the PDF indicates 2-bedroom whereas the WaPo article indicates 1-bedroom. I should probably do a number-comparison on a per-county basis to see if the WaPo writers simply made a mistake, but I'm feeling pretty lazy.
- dm2 13y agoThey probably just downloaded the states individually (http://nlihc.org/oor/2014/NY http://nlihc.org/oor/2014/NY) to get the 1 bedroom numbers.
- saraid216 13y agoAnd to clarify, you have to pull the XLS in order to get the 1BDR numbers. The PDF is still just 2BDR. But yes. dm2 is correct. This is probably the link that should have been shared to start: http://nlihc.org/oor/2014 http://nlihc.org/oor/2014
- wdmeldon 13y agoI avergaged the 1-bedroom numbers for all of the counties in Rhode Island (guess why I picked Rhode Island) and got ~$15.00, which is ~$3.00 less than the 2-bedroom on the PDF. So they probably calculated it correctly. Two bedrooms are always surprisingly close in price to one bedrooms.
