See where a neighborhood is heading, not just where it is.
Konduit measures the structural health of housing markets, census tract by census tract, and keeps every reading it takes. The record shows direction, tests forecasts, and grows more useful every month.
A periodic deep dive on how Konduit works. Subscribers get first access to the Neighborhood Index.
One census tract, recorded monthly
Each reading is kept. None is replaced.
Housing data tells you where things stand. It rarely tells you how they got there.
Cities, lenders, and investors make decade-long decisions with numbers that describe a single moment.
It arrives late
Official shelter-cost measures trail the market by months. By the time a neighborhood is flagged as changing, the change has already happened.
It gets overwritten
Most tools replace yesterday's estimate with today's. You can't see how the picture moved, or check whether last year's forecast held up.
It stops at price
A median sale price says nothing about who is buying, who is being denied credit, or how exposed residents are to the next rate shift.
A permanent record of every neighborhood
Konduit collects lending, census, listing, permit, ownership, and rent data continuously, and stores each observation with the date it was made. Nothing is revised in place.
That record lets you compare a tract with its own past, spot patterns that repeat across neighborhoods, and audit any score after the fact. It can only be built forward, one reading at a time, which is why we started now.
The Neighborhood Index
Eight measures of structural health for every census tract.
- Affordability DriftHow fast housing costs are pulling away from local incomes.
- Capital SensitivityHow exposed a tract is to interest rates and outside investor capital.
- Supply ResponsivenessWhether new housing keeps pace with demand.
- LiquidityHow quickly and cleanly homes change hands.
- Displacement PressureThe risk that long-time residents are pushed out.
- Structural FragilityHow vulnerable ownership and housing stock are to shocks.
- Equity TrajectoryWhether residents are building wealth or losing it.
- Development FeasibilityWhether building here makes financial sense.
