The document compares demographics and housing statistics between Wisconsin and the United States, finding that Wisconsin has slower population and home value growth. It projects Wisconsin's population will increase 850,000 by 2030, becoming older and more racially diverse. Most building permits are for single-family homes in metropolitan areas. Affordable housing is needed as alternatives like traditional neighborhoods, cottage housing, and true mixed-use developments are not common in Wisconsin. Questions are raised about whether the demand and desired housing options are being met.
