We are interested in this data, too, and we’re working on some research of our own. I tried to tackle this question (see my blog here: https://www.landed.com/blog/why-teacher-homeownership-is-central) and found that there’s more work to be done on this question, but here’s some of what we know:
Teachers with stable housing are much more likely to stay in the classroom, which helps schools recruit and retain high-quality staff and increase the quality of education in a community. Berkeley Unified School District’s 2018 study of its employees found over half considered leaving because of high housing costs. You can learn more here and check out the full study: https://www.landed.com/blog/exploring-school-district-employee-housing-in-california
Here are two data points we use when speaking about the need for stable housing for school employees: Research estimates that educator turnover costs $20,000 for each new hire and that a quality educator can increase the lifetime income of a classroom by $250,000.
