Housing & Dwellings in 100,000 to 249,999
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Nearly half of all households in 100,000 to 249,999 are renting, which is far above the national figure. This rental reliance is paired with housing costs that are among the highest for similar areas, making the local market particularly expensive for both renters and mortgage holders.
