Section 10-A1704. HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS

 

1704.1The 2000 Census reported that 18 percent of the homes in Far Northeast and Southeast were single family detached homes, and 28 percent were single family attached homes (row houses and townhouses). These are slightly higher than the percentages for the city as a whole. Conversely, only eight percent of the area’s housing stock consists of multi-family buildings of 20 units or more, compared to 32 percent for the city as a whole. Relative to the rest of the District of Columbia, Far Northeast and Southeast has a much higher percentage of small apartment buildings. About one-third of the area’s housing units were in buildings with five to 19 units-almost twice the citywide proportion. In 2000, nearly 13 percent of the housing units in Far Northeast and Southeast were vacant. 1704.1

 

1704.2The 2000 Census reported that 41 percent of the households in the Planning Area were homeowners and 59 percent were renters. These percentages are identical to the city as a whole. 1704.2
