The City of Madison's Department of Planning, Community, and Economic Development has published its 2025 Housing Snapshot report, providing the latest insights into the city's housing trends.

The report updates data from the 2023 Housing Snapshot and also contains new metrics, data visualizations, and example households designed to provide a clearer picture of Madison's current housing needs and to make the report easier to understand.

The 2025 report finds progress has been made in producing more housing in Madison, leading to an improved rental vacancy rate, but housing demand still outpaces new supply as land and construction costs continue to increase rapidly. Those factors continue to limit housing choice across Madison, especially for low-income households.
