Americans' Satisfaction With 'Good, Affordable Housing' in U.S. Plunges--Here's Why

Americans have become increasingly dissatisfied with the availability of “good, affordable housing” over the past few years, and it largely comes down to home prices, the latest Gallup survey has found.

Gallup surveyed residents in 38 wealthy countries that are part of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, including the U.S., and determined that they have grown frustrated with their local housing conditions.

Headquartered in Paris, the OECD was founded in 1961 to foster economic progress and world trade. Besides the U.S., member countries include other major market economies such as Canada, France, and Germany.

According to the results of the new survey, only 36% of U.S. respondents said they were happy with the state of local housing last year, down from 39% in 2023.
