This new paper Local Large-Scale Structure and the Assumption of Homogeneity claims that a combined analysis of several surveys indicates that there is a substantial local under-density in the universe on the order of 800 MPC in size.
Previous work done by other authors suggests that an inhomogeneity of this order is sufficient to account for what has been interpreted as Dark Energy.
The authors also suggest that the local under-density may account for the mismatch between the local measurements of the Hubble constant and that inferred from the Planck CMB data.
