Thursday Thirteen

Here are 13 facts about my locality, based on the 2020 Census.

Total Population - 34,747 (100%)

Population in Households - 34,460 (99.2%)

Population in Families - 29,603 (85.2%)

Population in Group Quarters - 287 ( 0.8%) (this includes nursing home facilities)

Population Density - 64

Diversity Index - 16 (different races and ethnic groups. The lower the number, the less diverse. We are not diverse.)

Total HU (Housing Units)  - 15,534 (100%)

Owner Occupied HU - 11,771 (75.8%)

Renter Occupied HU - 2,011 (12.9%)

Vacant Housing Units - 1,752 (11.3%)

Median Home Value - $274,781

Average Home Value - $312,146

Housing Affordability Index - 152 (above 100 means increased affordability)

We do not have a lot of affordable housing here, although that may be improving with the addition of apartment complexes on the southern end. Appearances and actual data are not always the same. That housing affordability index number surprised me the most.
