SS6: Jobs and Housing Balance

(2 points)

Purpose

Create communities with a balance of job and housing opportunities to reduce vehicular travel and improve residents' access to employment.

Criteria

Create a community that brings the jobs-to-housing ratio closer to 3:2 (three full-time jobs to every two residential housing units) through residential development in a job center.

Use either the latest U.S. Census Tract or recent local municipal statistics to find the number of jobs and the number of housing units existing in the area prior to the proposed community.

Verification 

• Submit the number of projected residential housing units created by the development and the number of existing jobs and housing units in the area. 
• Submit the final build-out number.
