Section 10-A1904. HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS

 

1904.1A majority of the housing stock in the Anacostia Waterfront Planning Area is contained in multi-family buildings. The 2000 Census reported that about 56 percent of the housing stock was located in buildings with 50 or more units, which is more than twice the citywide proportion of 23 percent. About one-quarter of the area’s housing stock consists of rowhouses and townhomes, which is similar to the citywide average. However, theistic proportion of single family detached homes in the Anacostia Waterfront Planning Area is less than two percent, which is substantially less than the citywide average of 13 percent. 1904.1

 

1904.2The Planning Area has more than 220 dwelling units in the “Other” category reported by the US Census, corresponding mainly to houseboats and liveaboards. These represent 2.4 percent of the Area’s housing units. 1904.2

 

1904.3In 2000, 7.5 percent of the units in the Anacostia Waterfront Planning Area were vacant. The percentage of vacant units is comparable to the city as a whole. Approximately 48 percent of the area’s residents resided in the same house in 2000 as they did in 1995, which is also comparable to the citywide average. 1904.3
