Market Snapshot
What do we look like collectively? How and what do we pay for housing?

Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH)
38% of Decatur’s present housing supply targets those below the median income. Here’s where those units are located.

Missing Middle Found
In many areas of Decatur where historic examples of “missing middle” housing still exist, affordable units integrate comfortably within residential neighborhoods, hidden in plain view. This look at Drexel Avenue demonstrates.

Regulatory Efforts
2014’s overhaul of the City’s development regulations included some efforts specifically addressing more affordable housing scenarios. Did these efforts go far enough?

What Does It Cost?
The income required to live in Decatur depends significantly on the type of home you want, and whether you own or rent.

Who’s Underserved?
Where are the gaps in our housing market? Who can find a home here, and who can’t?
