Study details current, future housing issues for Beaufort county
Video
Beaufort county leaders are hoping data can help them tackle the lack of affordable housing in the area.
The County commissioned and paid for $39,000 for a study by Bowen National Research. the 8 month long study offered insights into housing issues now and in the future.
Bowen National Research worked 8 months on the Beaufort County housing survey
18,000 people responded, and 25 businesses from around the County were interviewed for the project.
The survey shows 63% of people in Beaufort County are having trouble finding a suitable place to live, and more than 45% are paying 30% or more of their salaries just to find a home.
"Lack of available housing, lack of affordable housing," are the two biggest issues, according to Patrick Bowen, President of Bowen National Research.
Houisng prices information from Bowen National Research study
47.4 percent of Beaufort County renters are "cost-burdened", paying more than 30% of their income for housing. Northern unincorporated parts of the County had the highest amount of those renters at 55.9%.
The Bowen National Research study showed that population grew more than 15% in the last 7 years, and will grow another 10% in the next five.
The fastest growing part of the population is still 65 to 75 + in the county, but the research shows nothing is being done to help the other part of the community, the young and not rich.
"If you are trying to buy something that’s priced say under $250,000 or trying to rent something under $1000 there is virtually nothing to choose from," said Bowen.
Market rate, median rents – from Bowen National Research study
41,000 people live and work in Beaufort county, but almost the same number, 36,000 travel either in or out of the county either for a home or a job.
Homes values at $300,000 or more make up 70% of the houses in Beaufort County. Only 10% of the single family homes available for $200,000 of less.
That becomes a nearly impossible number for hospitality workers, police and firefighters.. and more.
"Constantly we kept getting teachers teachers teachers," said Bowen. "That was a problem particularly entry level teachers around the lower spectrum of the pay scale. Those folks were really having a tough time finding a place to live."
Household growth by age, from Bowen National Research study
While 18% of the county can only afford to pay $500 in rent, only 6% of the rental market is at that price.
Median rent in Beaufort County is $1060 for a one bedroom apartment. $1200 for a two bedroom.
All government subsidized properties are filled. A 300 person waiting list exists, and the wait for housing vouchers stands at 18 months to 3 years.
"There is nothing available for low income people to rent," explains Bowen. "If you are a renter that makes less than 40,000, and you are trying to find an apartment in the county, good luck."
Its not just the low income housing that will become an issue. According to Bowen, demand for nearly every housing type and price in every part of the county is going to rise as the county continues to expand.
If the county wants to attract business and high-ranking executives, more housing in the high-income segment has to be built.
About 200 beds for senior care housing facilities will need to be added annually in Beaufort County to keep up with the number of aging residents.
"You already started with a lot of older people and they are just going to get older," explains Bowen. "So housing needs are about to change and a lot of these people financially can’t take care of their homes they need to downsize."
So what needs to be done?
More housing, period will be needed, in all forms, high, moderate and low income.
More single family homes, multi-family apartments, and duplexes and townhouses, according to the study.
The price points on many homes also needs to be less than $150,000 for entry-level and workforce families. Rentals for $750 a month or less will be needed to keep the workforce in Beaufort County.
Bowen does have some recommendations on how to create more affordable housing. Among those
Implementing "inclusionary zoning," Setting aside a number of units in new apartment complexes or other developments for low to moderate incomes people or families.
Simplifying the permitting process to make it quicker for developers who plan to include affordable housing.
Waive building fees for affordable housing developers.
Bowen says those are just recommendations, not exact guidelines the County needs to follow. He likened this area to Asheville, North Carolina who was having similar problems. Many of their workers now travel two counties away to live or build homes.
The full report will be released sometime this week.
