Vacant homes aren’t just empty, they’re unpredictable, high‑risk environments where anything can happen.

We also connect the dots between the economy, the housing market, and inflation, and how these pressures are creating more abandoned homes, more distressed neighborhoods, and more unsafe conditions for the people who work in them.
