Planning

Where to call home? In choosing a location to live, cost factors into almost every household's decision. There's the cost of owning or renting your home, and the cost–in time and money–of the trips you'll need to make, some of them nearly every day. Housing and transportation are the two biggest household expense burdens and have a significant impact on a family's financial outlook. The Wasatch Choice goal “Housing Choices and Affordable Living Expenses” is stated broadly to acknowledge that much more goes into determining affordability than just housing expenses.

WFRC’s current household and jobs forecast update is expected to be finalized in May of 2023 and will be used in conjunction with transportation investment decisions and other local and regional planning work. But you don’t have to wait until then to start exploring this current update at the TAZ and ‘city area’ levels in our Household and Jobs Forecast web map.
