Housing cost squeeze hits average families in county
Bennington County sees severe limits on housing options for average and low income families per a Bennington County Regional Commission report reviewed at a Manchester public hearing. Median regional income trails the national figure while median single family home price sits at 39 500 limiting affordable housing to about 18 percent. Rental affordability is equally scarce with few three bedroom units under 7 000 income and only 7 percent of two bedroom units affordable. The study calls for a 3 percent county vacancy rate and 222 new units, while recommending policy measures on blighted housing and demolition costs. The report accompanies the regional land use plan and faces approval at the BCRC meeting in Arlington on Oct 20. Public is welcome.
