A recent housing report found that Dane County’s rental vacancy rate is almost 3% below the national average. That kind of shortage inevitably drives up prices – especially in high-demand areas like downtown Madison.

Sitting down with WORT News Producer Faye Parks, Doyle shared her take on the county’s housing crisis.
