2.3 Trends in Tenure The housing mix by type (i.e., percentage of single-family detached, single-family attached, and multi -family dwellings) is an important variable in any housing needs assessment. Distribution of housing types is influenced by a variety of factors, including the cost of new home construction, area economic and employment trends, demographic characteristics, and amount of land zoned to allow different housing types and densities. Figure 3 show changes in Eugene's tenure for occupied units from 1990- 2010. About 50% of housing in Eugene was owner -occupied in 2010, consistent with homeownership rates in 1990 and 2000. Eugene's homeownership rate has historically been lower than the County or State average. In 2011, Eugene's homeownership rate (45%) was lower than the County average of 60% or the State average of 62%. Eugene's relatively low homeownership rate is consistent with Eugene's large population of students, such as those attending the University of Oregon. Figure 3.
