HOUSING DATA PROFILE 2014
HEMPSTEAD
VILLAGE
Regional Plan Association, in consultation with Long Island Affordable and Fair Housing Task Force, created housing data profiles for
Long Island’s towns, cities and villages with support from Citi Community Development and the Long Island Community Foundation.
Each profile depicts information on housing supply, type, price and demographic information in graphic form. It is hoped that these
profiles will be used to guide important discussions and decisions as communities across Long Island address current and future
housing needs.
The housing profiles include data from the 2013 American Community Survey, population projections from the Cornell Program on
Applied Demographics, foreclosure data from Long Island Real Estate, and for comparisons across time the 2000 Census. The data is
intended to provide a factual base for assessing a range of challenges that have been identified by researchers, the media, business
leaders, housing advocates, public officials, civic organizations and community members. These include a shortage of affordable
rental housing, an exodus of young adults, difficulties in attracting a talented workforce and the companies who hire them, and the
needs of a growing elderly population.

The following metrics depict the types of housing that the
community has to offer—the number of single-family and
multifamily homes, the age of the housing stock, the number
of people who own their own homes and those who rent. It
shows the number of homes receiving some form of federal
subsidy, and what type of housing is being built throughout
the county. Together, these describe the range of housing
choices available to residents in the community.

HOUSING
Owner occupied housing comes in several types—singlefamily homes, townhouses, cooperatives and condominiums.
Change in home value and foreclosure activity are vital
measures of a housing market that has seen huge fluctuation
over the last decade, and median home value indicates how
affordable the average owner-occupied home is compared to
others on Long Island.
Rental homes can be single-family houses and apartments
in any size building. Housing wage looks at the amount of
money a person working a full-time job would have to make
in order to afford rental housing (in this case a one or two
bedroom unit) without having to pay more than 30% of their
income. The other charts describe the amount of money being
made and the amount of money being spent on housing for
the typical renter, and the share of renters paying different
levels of rent.

DEMOGRAPHICS
Population + Households
These metrics provide a deeper look into the makeup of
the community. The living situations, the financial and racial
diversity, and the age of the population owning or renting
homes in the community are all illustrated here. In comparing
housing costs to household income, it shows how many
owners and renters pay over 30% of their income for housing.
This metric illustrates the housing cost burden that is felt by
households on Long Island and also generally highlights how
housing cost burden further contributes to income inequality:
in most cases lower income households are more likely to
be paying greater than 30% of their income towards housing
costs.
