Abstract: The recent decade witnessed a worsening of the affordable housing crisis across the country. Inclusionary zoning (IZ) has been a popular municipal remedy for the crisis. However, it is unclear whether IZ actually adds to the affordable housing stock, and whether it achieves its goal at the expense of average homeowners. Through a case study of New Jersey and North Carolina, this paper aims to address these two questions. The results suggest that there is no statistically significant positive relationship between the presence of IZ and the housing price in the two states, but its beneficiary effects are also debatable.
