Calculation Formula

Housing Density = Total Housing Units / Land Area

Where:
- Total Housing Units: The total number of residential units in the area
- Land Area: The total area of land in the specified unit (acres or hectares)

Result

The result is displayed in units per acre if the input unit is acres, or units per hectare if the input unit is hectares.

Understanding Housing Density

Housing density is a measure of how many housing units are built on a given area of land. It is commonly used in urban planning to understand the intensity of development. Higher housing density typically indicates more intensive development, while lower density suggests more spread-out development.

The formula used in this calculator is:

Housing Density = Total Housing Units / Land Area

Applications

  • Urban planners use housing density to guide development projects.
  • Real estate developers use it to assess potential projects.
  • Government agencies use it for zoning and land use regulations.
