Franklin, TN Housing Needs Assessment

Heidi Aggeler and Mollie Fitzpatrick completed the city’s first comprehensive housing market study. Franklin is a high opportunity suburb of Nashville with a quickly growing population and rising housing costs. The study was structured around a list of questions posed by the city at the onset. We answered through our analysis the types of housing desired by Franklin’s residents and the housing types missing from the city and needed to accommodate workforce. Our findings were presented to several groups of stakeholders and community leaders and formed the basis for a community strategic planning effort to address current and future housing needs.
