A county attainable housing plan showed that out of 167,549 households, about 26% of households -- or 44,750 -- were cost burdened by paying 30% or more on housing.

That’s why the county has identified priorities to diversify the types of housing available, preserve existing inventory and create more housing and funding resources such as incentives.
