A first-of-its-kind examination of the past, current and future supply of housing in Orange County. The product of over a year of research by OCBC Vice President of Research, Dr. Wallace Walrod, the Scorecard is intended to act a starting point to foster dialogue to address the critical shortage of workforce housing throughout Orange County.
This year-long, critically acclaimed research report addresses the crucial relationship between housing supply, workforce development, affordability and business competitiveness in Orange County. It concludes that if present supply and demand trends continue, the jobs-to-housing ratio in 2030 will be severely unbalanced. As a result, affordability will continue to decline, many more residents will be priced out of the market, and the number of workers commuting into the county for jobs will continue to grow.
