  1. A Preliminary Look at Housing Units, Vacancy, and Tenure 2000-2010 April Hirsh, MSSA Center on Urban Poverty and Community Development June 15, 2011

  2. Census Variables • Definitions • Housing unit- Not the same as structures, a housing unit is a place of residence for one household • Vacancy- Whether a housing unit is occupied or not • Tenure- Whether a housing unit is occupied by its owner or a renter • Other Notes • All in 2000 census boundaries, available in NEO CANDO • Census data can not replace on-the-ground knowledge

  3. At first glance…

  4. We’ve all seen that map Examining census data in context

  5. Growth in housing units Is there a difference in tenure when we look at areas where housing units increased compared to areas where housing units decreased?

  6. Greatest Growth in Housing Units • City of Cleveland- • 9 of the top 20 tracts with highest percent in growth are in the City of Cleveland • Top three tracts with highest percent of growth are in the City of Cleveland • Glenwillow • Olmstead Twp-Falls • Broadview Heights • North Royalton • Strongsville • Berea • Solon • Highland Heights • Cleveland Heights • Westlake

  7. Vacancy in areas of growth How does vacancy look like in areas with housing unit growth?

  8. Highest percent increase in vacancy • Most areas saw increases in vacancy • Cleveland- AREA OF HIGH GROWTH IN HU • Cleveland Heights- AREA OF HIGH GROWTH IN HU • Seven Hills • Garfield Heights • Maple Heights • Strongsville • North Randall • Glenwillow- AREA OF HIGH GROWTH IN HU • University Heights

  9. Highest percent increase in rental units (growth in units and vacancy) • Where housing units increased and vacancy increased, we see increases in renter occupants • Richmond Heights • North Olmstead • Strongsville- AREA OF HIGH GROWTH IN VAC AND UNITS • Cleveland Heights- AREA OF HIGH GROWTH IN VAC AND UNITS • Bedford Heights • Parma • North Royalton

  10. Loss in Housing Units

  11. Highest percent decrease in housing units • Cleveland • University • Kinsman • Central • Jefferson • Fairfax • South Broadway • Hough • Brook Park • East Cleveland

  12. Vacancy in Areas of housing unit decline

  13. Vacancy in Areas of housing unit decline • Increases in vacancy for the most part, not to the extreme of those areas with growth in housing units • Areas of decreased vacancy (Hough, Fairfax, Kinsman, Buckeye, Tremont) • Areas of highest percent increase: • Cleveland Heights • Maple Heights • Corlett (Cleveland) • South Euclid • Garfield Heights • Richmond Heights • Lee Miles (Cleveland)

  14. Tenure in areas of housing unit decline, vacancy increase • Interestingly, we see mostly decreases in rental units in the City of Cleveland • Highest percent increase in rental units: • Cleveland Heights • Garfield Heights • North Olmstead • Lee-Miles (Cleveland) • Maple Heights • Beachwood

  15. Tenure in areas of housing unit decline, vacancy decline • Very few • Mostly decreases in rental units

  16. Conclusions • Interesting distinctions when examining percent change of renter-occupied housing units by housing unit growth and vacancy • Need for further examination and analysis • Helpful implications for cities: • In some areas, renters are still a small population despite drastic change • Emerging patterns to inform planning, stabilization, and development
