The city Demography Division's Demography Story Map reflects how even though Austin added 90,000 housing units from 2010 to 2020, surrounding communities outpaced the city's rate of housing growth.
The bulk of Austin's housing supply as of 2020 consisted of 59.3 percent rental units, with 38.8 percent units intended for ownership.
"Market forces really drive housing development. As Austin adds jobs, then demand for housing increases as well. However, the market will never supply enough housing at a low enough rent or price for families that make well below the median income," he said.
