Th e human density map shows the location of existing housing developments and opportunities for a greater residential base.

Th e International District is characterized by a high foreign born population, a pan-Asian majority, and high numbers of low-income residents.

More elderly live in the district than youth, and they tend to be concentrated in a few blocks. In addition, most of the population is living alone, as demonstrated by the low average household sizes map. Th ese indicate a need for more family housing.

Th e vast majority of units are rented, with only 1% owned. Home ownership rates are often used in the U.S. to indicate general wealth or poverty of a neighborhood. Th e extremely low rate of ownership in this district could indicate a less wealthy and less established community than other Seattle neighborhoods.
