The share of single-family detached housing was relatively stable over the seventeen-year period, accounting for about 55% of housing stock in Eugene. Table 5.

Several CAC members have expressed concerns about the categories of housing shown in Tables 4 and 5. Suggestions for changes to mix include: (1) combine some categories of structure type, such as apartments with 5 to 19 units and apartments with 20 or more units and (2) consider other structure types, such as student housing with more than four bedrooms and shared common areas or small affordable single-family dwellings. City staff is in the process of determining whether and how to consolidate the existing categories of structures. Data about the other structure types is not commonly available across the City. The housing needs analysis will discuss these housing types and present available data for these housing types.
