Vacant Parcel Analysis
Identifying available parcels and their restrictions is useful for understanding the implications of zoning. Pairing that information with the most recent real estate statistics enables a deeper level of understanding.
Of the existing vacant residential lots, all but 2.2% are zoned exclusively for single family homes on large lots. The typical single family home must be built on 1.5+ acres and sells for $456,000.The typical household in the county only earns enough to afford a $242,000 mortgage.Value per Acre Analysis

In Kent County, dense mixed-use developments generate up to 10x more revenue per acre than single-family subdivisions, highlighting the fiscal benefits of compact growth.
