Research shows that U.S. veteran households tend to spend a smaller share of their income on housing and, thus, face lower levels of housing insecurity. In this report, the authors show that this national veteran advantage does not always exist at the local level, especially in large cities and less populated areas. The authors argue that a better understanding of local differences in housing insecurity can strengthen veteran housing policies.
