- Housing Demand Analysis, Northampton County, VirginiaKoebel, C. Theodore; Dawkins, Casey J.; Cavell, Marilyn S.; Renneckar, Patricia L. (Virignia Center for Housing Research, 2007-06)This report assesses the demand for affordable housing in Northampton County, Virginia. The assessment includes an analysis of the gap between the supply of affordable housing and the demand (or need) for such housing as of April 1, 2000; an assessment of post-2000 growth trends; projections of housing demand for 2010 and 2020; and a discussion of strategies to promote the development of affordable housing. Housing in Northampton is generally affordable; however, the demand for second homes and retirement homes has resulted in exceptionally high housing prices for desirable waterfront locations. The more affordable prices are available for in-land locations.
