Nicole Bachaud, a senior economist at Zillow, says while all racial groups are being impacted by the current housing affordability crisis, a new Zillow report sheds light on how people from the Asian and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community are disproportionately impacted.
According to the study, AAPI residents make up some of the largest communities of homeowners at 70% in the Atlanta area. However, these same households face some of the highest housing payment burdens.
On Wednesday’s edition of “Closer Look,” Bachaud talked with show host Rose Scott about the report and the many challenges Atlanta’s AAPI community face when purchasing a home and paying their monthly mortgage.
