Section 10-A2304. HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS

 

2304.1The 2000 Census reported that 30 percent of the housing units in Rock Creek West were single family detached homes, and 10 percent were single family attached homes (row houses, semi-detached homes, and townhouses). The percent of single family detached housing is more than twice the citywide percentage. At the same time, the Planning Area also contains almost twice the percentage of units in large multi-family buildings compared to the city as a whole. More than 42 percent of the housing units in Rock Creek West are contained in multi-family buildings of 50 units of more, compared to 23 percent citywide. 2304.1

 

2304.2The 2000 Census reported that 52 percent of the households in the Planning Area were homeowners and 47 percent were renters. This compares to citywide figures of 41 percent and 59 percent respectively. The percentage of homeowners in the Planning Area has been increasing; whereas renters outnumbered homeowners in 1990, the reverse was true by 2000. The percentage of vacant housing units in the Planning Area is low-standing at less than four percent in 2000 compared to a citywide average of almost 10 percent. 2304.2
