Housing
This publication is geared towards local government officials and others interested in investigating the connections between housing and land use. Using a series of maps, graphics and text, we explore statewide trends in housing including homeownership, seasonal housing, housing values, affordability, foreclosures, and other special topics. We also look at state and local housing policies, emerging design trends, and the impact of generational changes.
A previous edition of Housing Megatrends published in 2006 is also available. This publication explores trends in homeownership, property values, land conversion, residential energy use, and commuting. Historic and projected changes in housing density from 1940 to 2030 are also portrayed using a series of statewide maps.
