  • Population and household estimates are based on year-to-year calculations by age group from 1990 to 2015. The general methodology follows standard HUD FHA techniques of housing market analysis (Short narrative on full document) correlating changes in jobs, people, households, and housing units at the county level. Headship rates by age and tenure (owner and renter) are applied to a changing age distribution over the 25-year period. Migration by age group is factored into these calculations for each market.

    Detailed demand estimates by sales price and rent levels in a particular local market are available. Sub-county estimates (typically groups of census tracts or zip codes) are derived from county control totals.

    The housing requirements of seniors are calculated as a specialized segment of the overall housing market. As a result, the demand estimates for rental housing, sales housing, and seniors housing are internally consistent.
