Housing Market Study Information

The City of Oberlin, Ohio has contracted with Cleveland State University for the development of a Comprehensive Community Housing Study and Needs Analysis for the Oberlin community. The results from the study will assist decision makers, stakeholders and community members by providing data that can guide public policy decisions in the area of housing and identify proposed action items that can be implemented to promote the appropriate blend of housing opportunities throughout the City. The study should provide a measured assessment of housing supply, present and future, unmet housing demand across various demographic categories and provide a comprehensive understanding of short-to-mid-term housing supply and demand. The report is intended to provide community-specific housing priorities.
