News release: “Filling a major gap in the availability of residential property data, the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and the Graaskamp Center for Real Estate at the Wisconsin School of Business announced a new online database detailing land and property values in the United States. Located in the Resources and Tools section of www.lincolninst.edu, Land and Property Values in the U.S. provides separate price indices for land and structures, in addition to the more common price indices for property — land and structures combined. Information on the values and rents of residential properties in the U.S. cover three dimensions:

• Rent-Price Ratio: The ratio of rents to prices for the stock of all owner-occupied housing
• Aggregate U.S. Land Prices: Values and price indexes for all land, structures, and housing in residential use
• Metro Area Land Prices: Values and price indexes for land, structures, and housing for single-family owner-occupied housing units in 46 major U.S. metropolitan areas.”
