The document provides data on housing affordability and demographics in Seattle. It shows that Seattle's population is growing rapidly and housing construction has increased but not kept pace with demand, driving up rents. Average rents in Seattle are now unaffordable for many working households and disproportionately burden low-income residents and communities of color. The gap between affordable housing supply and demand is most severe for lowest-income renters.
Population Estimates, August 2015 SnapshotARCResearch
The Atlanta region population grew by 60,300 people between 2014 and 2015 to a total of 4,332,600 residents in 2015. Gwinnett County had the largest growth over this period, adding 15,700 new residents. While population growth has rebounded since 2010, the annual growth rate remains below historical levels from 1990 to 2010. Residential building permits, a key indicator of future population growth, have also remained well below their 30-year average of 35,000 permits per year. Areas with high concentrations of new residential building permits, especially single family homes, correspond to areas experiencing the greatest population increases per square mile between 2010 and 2015.

The document summarizes economic trends in Austin from 2003-2013 that contributed to its strong growth and prosperity. It notes that Austin experienced the second highest GDP growth and top job growth among large US metro areas during this period. However, it warns that success can breed complacency and that challenges remain around income stagnation, education inequality, and housing affordability. The document calls for big ideas to address these issues, such as setting goals for a majority of residents to obtain a postsecondary degree and using opportunities like the new medical school to promote broad-based wealth creation and inclusion.
Saint Lucia is a Caribbean island country located northeast of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. It has a population of around 166,526 as of 2010, which has grown by 25.7% since 1990. Most Saint Lucians are of African descent and around 70% are Roman Catholic. English is the official language. The economy relies heavily on tourism, with the hotel industry accounting for a large portion of GDP. Health achievements from 2006-2010 included establishing disease surveillance programs and increasing access to clean water. However, poverty and unemployment rates remain high, especially in rural areas.

Global inequality exists, with the richest 25% of the world receiving 75% of global income. Rural poverty is widespread in poor countries in Africa, India, and Southeast Asia, where people have little possessions and limited access to nutrition, healthcare, and education. While global inequality between countries is increasing, inequality between individuals has been decreasing due to rapid growth in large populous countries like China and India. Theories on the causes of global inequality include modernization theory, which argues countries will develop through stages, and dependency theory, which argues poor countries remain dependent on rich countries and cannot develop their own industries.

The document discusses housing problems in Mumbai, specifically the rise of slums. It identifies the main causes of housing issues as increasing population, pollution, high housing demand, rising land costs, and lack of planning. Slums have increased dramatically since the 1950s due to Mumbai's population tripling since 1947. Housing is scarce and expensive, while failed policies and corruption have exacerbated the problems. Slums lack proper sanitation and lead to health issues, as well as social problems like unemployment, violence, and child labor. Solutions proposed include providing housing and jobs for migrant workers, and empowering local authorities to improve infrastructure and services for slum dwellers.
The document discusses how aging trends vary significantly between urban and rural areas, as well as within cities. Rural areas currently have higher percentages of elderly populations but are aging more slowly, while urban populations are younger but aging faster. Additionally, different cities and even different parts of the same city are experiencing diverse aging patterns and challenges. A forthcoming OECD report will provide more analysis on aging trends in urban environments.

POVERTY HOUSING AND FINANCE: UNDERSTANDING THE URBAN POOREminent Planners
This document discusses poverty housing and the challenges faced by the urban poor in obtaining adequate housing. It provides definitions of poverty housing according to international agreements and outlines the key factors of tenure security, affordability, adequacy, and proximity to services. The majority of developing countries in the Pacific islands are presented as a case study, where over 40% of the population lives in inadequate housing. Rapid urbanization, population growth, poverty, and lack of infrastructure have contributed to growing squatter settlements. Improving housing conditions requires recognizing squatter settlements, integrating housing with basic services, managing rural to urban migration, and increasing access to housing finance. The special difficulties faced by urban poor migrants include a lack of social support systems and higher living costs compared
This document summarizes statistics from Indonesia's Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) on inclusive growth indicators. It notes that over 80% of the world's population lives in countries with large income disparities, with the poorest 40% only enjoying 5% of global income while the richest 20% enjoy 75% of global income. While Indonesia's economy grew 5.8% annually 2004-2012 on average, unemployment only fell by an average of 0.35 million people per year, and poverty declined by an average of 0.94 million people per year. However, economic growth alone cannot solve poverty and unemployment issues, and income inequality is increasing, questioning the quality of growth.
This document discusses challenges facing Los Angeles and proposes solutions to improve its economic prospects. It notes that LA has experienced significant job and population losses in recent decades due to overregulation and high taxes that have driven out businesses. However, the author argues that LA still has strong fundamentals like a growing, diverse population and entrepreneurial immigrant communities that could support economic growth if basic reforms are implemented. The key is focusing on job creation, middle-class neighborhoods, and rebuilding infrastructure to create opportunities for upward mobility rather than just appealing to the wealthy.
This document discusses housing and homelessness issues faced by the urban poor in Delhi, India. It notes that millions of marginalized people live in slums or on the streets without basic amenities. National housing policies have focused on providing housing for low-income groups but have largely ignored the homeless population. While night shelter schemes exist, their coverage is limited. The document estimates Delhi's homeless population to be over 100,000 based on various studies but notes this group remains deprived of proper attention or coverage under government schemes.
This document discusses key topics related to migration including definitions, types of migration, theories of migration, trends in international migration, and challenges. It defines various types of migration such as international, internal, circular, and net migration. Theories of migration discussed include early macro theories, neoclassical economic theories, and socio-political network theories. International migration is at an all-time high and trends include half of migrants moving between developing countries and some countries shifting from emigration to immigration. Prospects are that international migration rates will remain high due to economic and population disparities between countries. Challenges include integration of immigrants in receiving countries and "brain drain" issues in sending countries.
Bangladesh is experiencing rapid urbanization as its population grows. By 2060, it is estimated that Bangladesh will have a population of 230 million people, over 70% of whom will live in urban areas. Several factors are driving urban growth, including better access to food, healthcare, education, jobs, and entertainment in cities. Currently, Bangladesh has around 570 urban centers of various sizes, ranging from the megacity of Dhaka to smaller towns. Rapid urbanization is increasing pollution and placing pressure on infrastructure, but prospects for improving electrification, transportation, schools, healthcare, housing, and sanitation could help Bangladesh manage its urban growth.
Demographic trends are occurring globally that will reshape the world's population dynamics over the coming decades. Some key trends highlighted in the document include:
1) The world population is expected to increase by 50% to over 9 billion by 2050, driven largely by growth in developing countries.
2) Societies will split into aging populations in industrial countries versus rising youthful populations in developing nations. The global share and political/economic influence of developing nations will increase substantially.
3) Emerging markets will become increasingly important as the "workbench of the world" due to their large working age populations, while industrial nations face challenges of aging workforces and rising pension costs.

The document discusses population and development projections for Sarasota County, Florida through 2040. It projects that the county's population will grow significantly from 327,000 in 2000 to 664,000 in 2040. To accommodate this growth, most new development will come from redevelopment of existing parking lots and structures rather than greenfield development. The document advocates planning for more dense, walkable, and transit-oriented development to meet changing consumer preferences and make the most efficient use of existing infrastructure.
The document summarizes research on housing and transportation issues facing older adults in the United States. It finds that subsidized housing located near public transit is important for the livability and mobility of older populations but that existing affordable housing near transit is at risk of being lost. The research looked at differences between housing located near versus far from transit and the location of subsidized housing in 20 cities. Case studies of Cleveland and the Twin Cities provide examples of how housing location impacts older residents' access to transportation.

What are the Housing Needs of Our Community?MichaelSon29
The City of Westminster is updating its Housing Element to plan for regional housing needs and accommodate a new state-mandated allocation of 9,737 units by 2029. The update process involves public outreach including surveys and workshops, and will evaluate the City's housing stock, affordability, and current plans/policies to identify adequate housing sites. The City does not build housing itself but aims to facilitate private development through zoning and plans focused on areas like the Civic Center, Downtown, Beach Boulevard, and the Westminster Mall Specific Plan site. Next steps include an online public survey to gather feedback on housing needs in the community.

The update will identify adequate sites to meet Westminster's obligations and maintain compliance with state housing laws.
Housing Demographics for seniors will dramatically impact the future US Housing Market. We explore the topic in this presentation to the Montana Housing Conference.
This document discusses the future demand for downtown housing and the need to prepare for the upcoming "senior selloff". It notes that downtown housing supports retail and services by creating a vibrant city center with 24-hour activity. As the population ages, more seniors will be looking to downsize from large suburban homes to attached housing, rentals, and multifamily units closer to amenities. To meet this demand, cities need to plan for more condominiums, townhomes, and senior housing downtown through policies like residential overlays and form-based codes, while addressing challenges around land costs, parking, and infrastructure upgrades.
Albuquerque trends and opportunities to 2040abqrealtors
This document summarizes trends and opportunities for Albuquerque through 2040 based on an analysis conducted by Arthur C. Nelson. Some key points include:
- Population is projected to grow 66% to 1.52 million people, with especially large growth in those over 65 years old.
- Households are projected to become smaller on average and include more renters.
- New housing will likely be smaller homes and lots and more attached units to meet preferences and market demands.
- Job growth is projected at 76% with most new jobs in office/services, retail/lodging/food, and institutional sectors.
- Redevelopment of unused commercial spaces like parking lots presents opportunities for walkable, mixed
The document discusses the growing senior population in America and the opportunities this presents for the senior housing industry. Some key points:
- The number of seniors is projected to double by 2035 to over 40 million, driven by the aging baby boomer generation.
- This will increase demand for senior housing and long-term care options as at least 70% of seniors will require some assistance. However, there will be fewer family caregivers to support them.
- The senior housing industry is expected to experience rapid growth over the next 20 years to address this need. Occupancy rates are currently high at around 90% and demand is outstripping supply.
- Opportunities exist for industry consolidation, real estate investment trusts
Confronting Suburban Poverty In AmericaAriel Rogers
The passage discusses the rise of poverty in American suburbs, using the Seattle metropolitan area as a case study. It notes that poverty grew faster in suburbs than cities from 2000-2011, with the number of suburban poor increasing 64% in that period. In the Seattle area specifically, poverty rose 80% in southern suburbs. The growth of suburban poverty is due to factors like rising housing costs pushing low-income families out of cities, as well as job losses during the recession. Addressing poverty in suburbs is challenging as services are more spread out and public transportation is limited. The passage outlines opportunities for collaborative, regional approaches to better serve growing low-income populations in suburban communities.

Silicon Valley is facing a severe housing shortage as high-paying jobs in tech companies are attracting many new workers, but housing construction has not kept pace with demand. As a result, real estate prices and rents have skyrocketed, pricing out many lower- and middle-income residents. Some workers now face long commutes or are becoming homeless. The shortage stems from the rapid growth of major tech employers like Apple and Google, which have brought thousands of new jobs to their hometowns of Cupertino and Mountain View respectively, without a proportional increase in housing units. The paper examines this issue and proposes ideas to help alleviate the tension in Silicon Valley's housing market.
Regional Snapshot: Affordable Housing - July 2017 ARCResearch
- Home ownership and household formation rates have declined dramatically compared to historic trends, while home prices have risen significantly faster than wages due to dwindling housing supply. Adding transportation costs further worsens housing affordability.
- Rental costs have also risen sharply, especially in the suburbs, while the number of affordable units, particularly for extremely low-income households, has decreased.
- Most affordable housing is located in low-opportunity areas, maintaining the cycle of generational poverty.
RS June 2021: Neighborhood Change Dynamics UpdatedARCResearch
The document analyzes demographic shifts in census tracts in the 20-county Atlanta region from 2000 to 2019. It finds that 53% of census tracts experienced some form of change over this period. 12% saw significant population growth, with higher incomes and more racial/ethnic diversity. 28% saw increased poverty concentration, with lower incomes and more diversity. The regions saw the most population growth in outer suburbs and northern Atlanta, while population declined mostly in southern Atlanta. Areas of poverty concentration were widespread in the inner suburbs, while poverty displacement was concentrated in central Atlanta.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

In the last few years, housing development has accelerated, but rents continue to climb, driven by rapidly
growing demand. Rental rates for new units are higher, and housing that is demolished tends to be older
more affordable housing stock in varying conditions.

Overlaying today’s income distribution on
growth starts to tell us how much of the
housing growth needs to be affordable at
low and moderate income levels.
However, it does not account for:
• Some affordable units being
occupied by higher income
households; and
• Existing unmet need for affordable
housing (for example, looking just at
0-30% of AMI there is currently a
shortage of 23,500 affordable and
available renter units.)

Cost of construction is the biggest factor in the cost of new housing, but many factors play a role. Permit
