8 SUSTAINABILITY INDICATORS AND COMMUNITY SORTING What the HSI Reports and the Online Visualization Portal tells us - 1. How City of Houston performs on sustainability indicators. e.g. How many households spend more than 30% income on Housing costs? 30% 2. How Council Districts perform on sustainability indicators. e.g. Which council district is most unaffordable? District F (33.6%) a. How Council Districts compare. e.g. Which council district is most affordable and which is least affordable? District E (24%) - District F (33.6%) 3. How Super Neighborhoods perform on sustainability indicators. e.g. Which Super Neighborhood is most affordable? Hunterwood (44%) a. How Super Neighborhoods compare. e.g. Which Super Neighborhood is most affordable and which is least affordable? Gulfton (13%) Hunterwood (44%) Page 8 of 32
9 SUSTAINABILITY INDICATORS AND COMMUNITY SORTING How can HSI Data be used to understand major and complex problems in city General Planning and Housing and Community Development in Houston? e.g. 1. How should we define distressed communities in Houston? 2. Which communities are the distressed communities and can they be ranked? 3. What are the types and levels of intervention necessary to create improvements among communities in Houston? Page 9 of 32

21 Recent increases in home values by the county government conflict with Houston s marketability as an affordable destination. The prevailing rhetoric of Houston gaining 3.5 million people by 2035 is both incorrect and may be a contributing factor to damage wealth retention among the middle class in Houston. This is because the 3.5 million people are not forecasted for the City of Houston municipal boundaries (665 sqml), but for the region, which consists of 8 counties and covers a massive (7,978 sqml). The City of Houston is only projected to grow by 896,000 by The majority of the 3.5 million people forecasted to move to our region are expected to live in the suburban communities outside of the City of Houston. Therefore while it may seem strategically attractive to market the city as a major growth hub expecting 3.5 million people, the City may be indirectly eroding its affordability and middle class wealth base, since land values are increasing to meet the needs of 3.5 million people, who are in fact not moving here at all.
