The 2007–2011 housing crisis cut the Harrisburg HPI by 7.4% peak-to-trough — from 147.2 in 2008 to 136.3 in 2013. For context, the U.S. national HPI fell roughly 24% over the same period, so Harrisburg was meaningfully less affected than the national average.

Located in the Northeast region of the United States, Harrisburg is one of the 100 largest U.S. metropolitan statistical areas by population.
