Much of Greene County’s population 140,000 growth occurred in Beavercreek, a newly incorporated suburb just south of Fairborn. 120,000 Fairborn’s population has been steady but 100,000 not expanding significantly. The important point is that while much of Population 80,000 the Dayton Region was losing population, 60,000 Greene County has been stable and has had higher growth than the Region. 40,000 20,000 0 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 Est. 2017 Year Fairborn Beavercreek Greene County 5 Economic Market Conditions Population in Population (2000-2023) Surrounding Communities 70,000 Other near suburbs such as Riverside, Huber Heights, and Kettering have lost population, and some are expected to increase very 60,000 little from 2018-2023.

There has been strong employment with low and decreasing unemployment rates. 7 Economic Market Conditions Industrial Employment Even though industrial employment in manufacturing was falling for nearly a decade before the 2008-9 Recession, it remains below 2008 manufacturing employment levels. Trade, Transportation, and Utilities have grown since the recession but like manufacturing remains below 2008 employment levels. This may indicate that many of these jobs are now requiring higher skill levels and are more productive than prior to the recession. Office Employment Office employment has grown as well since the recession. Now reaching 2008 employment levels, it is anticipated that office employment will continue to grow modestly in the coming years. 8 Fairborn Master Housing Assessment & Strategy COMMERICAL MARKETS Retail has been soft throughout much The Dayton economy remains strong, Asking Rent of Dayton like the USA overall.

Fairborn will need to appeal to those employees and their families that seek affordability and a walkable neighborhood context that could be provided by Downtown Fairborn and to a lesser extent in Five-Points as well. 9 Housing Market Analysis CHAPTER 2 HOUSING MARKET ANALYSIS Greene County has led the Dayton Region in residential development for both single-family and multi- family building over the past decade. 10 Fairborn Master Housing Assessment & Strategy RESIDENTIAL BUILDING Single-Family Detached & Multi-Family Residential Growth Greene County has led much of Dayton area’s single-family residential growth with much of that occurring in Beavercreek. It has also driven multi-family residential development leading the Dayton area over the past ten years. In 2015, 2016, and 2017, Greene County seemed to represent the Dayton Region’s growth in multi-family development. 11 Housing Market Analysis HOUSING DEMAND IN THE DAYTON REGION The housing demand projected for the Dayton Region is estimated to be 10,823 units from 2018-2023, this represents 2,165 units per year. Of this growth, a rough estimate can be made of SFR and MFR by taking the Region’s current percent for owner-occupied versus rental units to derive an estimated of for sale to rental unit demand. This estimate indicates that of the 2,165 housing units per year about 1,190 may be for sale SFR and about 708 may be rental units. As building permit activity has lagged significantly below these estimates, there is likely still significant housing unit oversupply in the Dayton Region.

Of this growth, a rough estimate can be made of SFR and MFR. This estimate indicates that of the 638 housing units per year about 386 may be for sale SFR and about 200 may be rental units. As building permit activity has been near these estimates, there is likely new housing unit demand in Greene County.

Of this growth, a rough estimate can be made of SFR and MFR. This estimate indicates that of the 322 housing units per year about 51 may be for sale SFR and about 49 may be rental units. New housing development will likely occur east of I-675 where much of the recent, new SFR development has occurred in Fairborn. Rental units as well have been located on the east side of I-675 too. With available land in and around downtown and potentially in the Five-Points area, new MFR development may be primed for these areas as residents may be more attracted to the walkable downtown and future walkability of Five-Points to area schools and shopping.
