Landscapes3 was adopted as the comprehensive plan for Chester County in November 2018. Since then, the county planning commission has been tracking 18 metrics to assess implementation of its six goals. Long-term changes in the housing market are also reflected in the metrics. The percentage of new housing units that are apartments continues to be notably higher than in the 2000s or 2010s, although that percentage is still smaller than owner-occupied units. Housing assessment values in boroughs and in the City of Coatesville continue to rise at a strong pace, which was not always the case in past decades. Read more and access the data here.
