The Milwaukee Area Renters Study led by principal investigator Matthew Desmond, Assistant Professor of Sociology and Social Studies at Harvard, collects survey data on ~1,000 people renting property. Detailed demographic information and details on housing conditions, tenant behavior, landlord policies and more are collected and analyzed. CGA has made many maps and analyses for this project.
