Port Huron isn’t ‘exploding’ with new rentals, city data shows
View Comments
City Manager James Freed said that the long-term perception of Port Huron was once that it’s a place where rentals “are exploding and that people aren’t buying homes.”
But a recent look at city data is showing signs of a shift in trends that prove more people are buying homes than creating new rental units.
On two maps created this month, the difference doesn’t look that big with small red and green rectangles scattered in neighborhoods across the city. Freed said he thinks the visualization helps illustrate the “rapid change” in housing stock across the city.
