New Study: Immigration Caused 40% Of Your Rent Hikes Over 10 Years

By separating the spatial effects and then measuring the indirect “spillover effects,” this research paints a clearer picture of immigration’s overreach into communities, theoretically spread over the whole country.

mmigration accounts for as much as 40 percent of U.S. rent increases as the housing affordability crisis continues to plague millions of Americans, according to a forthcoming study shared exclusively with The Federalist.

The paper, “Immigration and Rent: A PUMA-Based Spatial Analysis,” will appear this fall in Cityscape magazine as part of a collection of works exploring the relationship between immigration and housing markets.

I wonder what the numbers would be in Canada?
