Seattle Housing Unit Density by 2010 Census Tract:

7. Identify UV growth characteristics
Find Urban Village data
Map view of Urban Village:
Leads to demographic data
Urban Village Census tracts:

8. Urban Village Impacts % Renters Racial and income demographics
Harder to map to each zone because census data not aligned by zone designations
Land (acres) for each zone, and % of UV
With upzone, and zone development capacity increased (the double upzone), what is the new development capacity? OPCD says they will disclose in the EIS
Rental property within zones – are absentee landlords more likely to sell with upzones
Current affordable units
Low income housing
Naturally affordable housing
Cost of land for new affordable housing projects
