AFIRE Podcast #05: Mapping Political Risk across US Cities

(Featuring Jeff Adler, Vice President, Yardi Matrix)

Political risk in the US is usually seen mostly through a national lens, but what can we learn by understanding risk at the city level?

By building a mechanism to quantify and understanding political risk at the metro-level across the US, unexpected insights and comparisons for real estate investors can emerge.

In the newest AFIRE Podcast, Jeff Adler, Vice President of Yardi Matrix talks about mapping political risk in the US.

This podcast is based on the article “Calculating Political Risk” from Summit Journal (Summer 2020). Read the full article here.
