Abstract
Despite efforts to address housing affordability, the Austin area continues to experience record housing cost increases and the displacement of residents due to these increases. In this brief, the Latino Research Institute examines how cheaper housing stock in the area of Austin known as the Latino crescent may be targeted by real estate investors and how investor attention may foster a cycle of housing cost increases.
