Table 6 and Figure 3 show type of dwelling by tenure (owner/renter- occupied) in Eugene in 2011. The results show that single-family detached housing types have a much higher ownership rate than other housing types— 72% of owner -occupied units were single-family detached. Multi -family housing types were predominately renter occupied. More than 95% of structures with two or more units were renter -occupied. Seventy-five percent of single-family attached dwellings were renter occupied and 28% of single-family detached units were renter occupied. Table 6. Housing units by type and tenure, Eugene, 2011 Source: American Community Survey 2011 625032 Note: Single-family detached includes manufactured homes. Note: The number of dwelling units in Eugene shown in Table 2, Table 4, and Table 5 differ because the tables show different information. Table 3 shows all units, Table 4 shows occupied units, and Table 6 shows occupied units where housing type is known. 2.4 Density Housing density is the density of housing by structure type, expressed in dwelling units per net or gross acre.6 The U.S. Census does not track residential development density. This study analyzes housing density based on development between 2001 and 2012 because changes to the City's zoning code went into effect in 2001 that affect housing development. Table 7 shows average net residential development by structure type for the 2001 to 2012 period using address point and tax lot data. Table 7 shows that the City added 7,971 new dwelling units during the 2001 to 2012 period. The tax lots with these new dwelling units had 2,351 pre- existing dwelling units (e.g., units built before 2001). The average density 6 OAR 660-024-0010(6) uses the following definition of net buildable acre. "Net Buildable Acre' consists of 43,560 square feet of residentially designated buildable land after excluding future rights-of-way for streets and roads. While the administrative rule does not include a definition of a gross buildable acre, using the definition above, a gross buildable acre will include areas used for rights-of-way for streets and roads. Areas used for rights-of-way are considered unbuildable.
