This report provides a detailed examination of short-term rentals activity in Puerto Rico and addresses several of the claims made by different groups through a detailed analysis focused on: hosting trends, and the industry’s effects on housing markets and affordability.
In January of 2022, the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy published a working paper carried out by CNE’s research unit on “Tracking Neighborhood Change in Geographies of Opportunity for Post-Disaster Legacy Cities”. Using the San Juan Metropolitan Area (SJMA) as a case study, we measured how different indicators for neighborhood change are associated with storm impacts, specifically those stemming from Hurricane MarĂa, and the geographical distribution of opportunities.
CNE has developed the FPMCM Dashboard for users to query on trends regarding federal post-MarĂa contracting for reconstruction works in Puerto Rico.
This report examines Federal post-disaster expenditures and the sectors and companies being contracted. Our primary findings suggest that Federal relief and recovery spending in Puerto Rico is mostly being used to contract mainland U.S. firms. Moreover, existing trends signal that local economic development opportunities stemming from post-disaster funding are possibly lower than expected.
