Knowing the age of housing helps identify <br />new housing construction and investment <br />within our neighborhood and also measures <br />the disappearance of old housing. This data <br />also helps in the development of formulas to <br />determine substandard housing and provide <br />assistance in forecasting future services, such <br />as energy consumption and fire protection. <br />What does our neighborhood's mix of housing <br />ages reveal about the past, present, and <br />future of our neighborhood? <br />Households in our Neighborhood <br />The composition of the households within our neighborhood helps us to understand our neighbors <br />and how housing is used within our neighborhood. For the census, the number of households <br />corresponds with the neighborhood's 4,839 occupied housing units. One person in each household <br />is designated as the householder. In most cases, this is the person, or one of the people, in whose <br />name the home is owned, being bought, or rented. Households are classified by type according <br />to the gender of the householder and the presence of relatives. Two types of householders are <br />distinguished: a family householder and a non - family householder. A non - family householder is a <br />householder living alone or with nonrelatives only. A family householder is a householder living <br />with one or more individuals related by birth, marriage, or adoption. Traditionally, census surveys <br />do not report same -sex married couples as a family household. What circumstances influence <br />household composition? In what ways might the composition of a household change over time? <br />River Road Community Organization - Household Composition <br />1- person household, 1,202 <br />2 -or- more - person non - family households, 506 <br />N <br />Q! <br />E <br />O <br />2 <br />Husband -wife family household, with own children under 18 years <br />Husband -wife family household, no children under 18 years <br />Other family Household with male householder, no wife present, <br />with own children under 18 years <br />Other family household with male householder, no wife present, <br />no children under 18 years <br />Other family household with female householder, no husband <br />present, with own children under 18 years <br />Other family household with female householder, no husband <br />305 <br />present, No children under 18 years <br />1,353 <br />Data source: U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2010, Table P19 <br />City of Eugene Neighborhood Services — 2011 Neighborhood Analysis — River Road Community Organization Q8 <br />
