Originally appeared in the Winter 2006 edition of Metroscape, published by the Institute of Portland Metropolitan Studies, Portland State University.
Abstract
The saga of American homeownership plays out across a complex landscape throughout the US and the Portland metropolitan region. It’s fi lled with many issues: housing supply, neighborhood amenities, population demographics, transportation networks, personal income levels, zoning and property regulations, taxes, and affordability measures (cost versus income). The maps shown here provide a brief summary, using the most recently available estimates for U.S. census tracts (2004 data) of people and homes in the metroscape.
