<br />Eugene/Springfield Metro Area <br />Residential Land Monitoring Annual Report <br />June 2001 <br /> <br />Introduction <br /> <br />This document is the first Residential Land Monitoring Annual Report and responds to . <br />Residential Land and Housing Policy 5 of the Eugene/Springfield Metro Plan, which <br />reads, <br /> <br />"Develop a monitoring system that measures land consumption, land values, <br />housing type, size, and density. Reports should be made to the community on an <br />annual basis. " <br /> <br />This report presents information on the consumption of residential land from 1992, the <br />.date of the supply in the Residential Land and Housing Study, to June, 2000. Information <br />on housing characteristics and residential infill is for fiscal year 1999-2000. Housing cost <br />information varies based on the agency releasing the information and is noted. <br /> <br />This is the first release of the Residential Land Monitoring Annual Report. In some <br />cases, information was unavailable or incomplete. Efforts are beirig made to improve <br />data collection. <br /> <br />The report consists of a number of tables that track residential land consumption and <br />housing characteristics, a written summary of the tabular information and maps that <br />display the approved subdivisions platted between January 1995 to June 2000 over the <br />Residential Land Site Inventory. <br /> <br />In subsequent releases of this report, annual information will be appended to earlier <br />information. As this is the frrst issue of the report, it contains only one year of <br />information on housing characteristics and may not be indicative of housing trends. As <br />succeeding years are added, more reliable information on housing trends will be <br />available. <br /> <br />Metro Projections <br /> <br />Comparing the projected 2000 metro study area population projections with the actual <br />2000 population based on the 2000 Census indicates that the actual number of persons in <br />the metro study area was 2 percent less than projected. If the 2015 projection of 301,400 <br />is adjusted 2 percent, it results in an expected 2015 projection of approximately 295,400. <br />This adjusted projection is still within the projected population range of 291,700 to <br />311,100. <br /> <br />1 <br />
