IHDA Market Analysis Application (IMAA)

The IHDA Market Analysis Application (IMAA), is a tool designed by IHDA’s Strategic Planning and Reporting (SPAR) Department that is intended to aid all affordable housing practitioners in analyzing markets and site appropriateness. The IMAA provides market-level data aggregated by census tracts that can help with tenant targeting, local coordination, and income targeting among other components. The IMAA can be used to build better and more competitive applications and to better address the underlying housing needs of Illinoisans throughout the state.

The IMAA summarizes economic, demographic, and housing information based on the market area that a user selects. The data presented in the IMAA is generally aggregated from publicly available data. Additional market-level access to many of IHDA’s independently published metrics and measurements are also incorporated. In depth descriptions of these metrics are provided elsewhere on IHDA’s Market Research website.
