A Look at the Counties: Rating the Affordability of Housing
The greatest shift in opinion on this issue has occurred in Columbia County. Five years ago, 55% of county residents were dissatisfied with the availability of affordable housing in their community. Today, the proportion of residents sharing this sentiment has spiked to 72%.
Lack of satisfaction with the amount of affordable housing, however, is not limited to Columbia County residents. At least two-thirds of residents in each Mid-Hudson Valley county, with the exception of Greene County, are dissatisfied with the availability of affordable housing. In Greene County, 61% of residents share this view.
