520			_aThis survey on housing affordability looks at 265 housing markets in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, United Kingdom and United States, using the median house price to median household income multiple to assess the availability of affordable housing. The authors state that while housing affordability has generally improved as a result of the end of the house price bubble, some markets remain inflated. Of the 265 markets assessed, there are only 87 which are affordable. These are all to be found in the United States and Canada. Australia fares particularly badly, with four areas in the top ten severely unaffordable housing markets, while London comes in at number sixteen on this list. The preface to the study discusses the casual relationship between land supply restrictions and planning and housing affordability.
