(WTHI) - Housing problems come in the form of both buyer and rental shortages. The study found a lack of homes to buy in the $150 to $250 thousand range. There is also a shortage in quality rentals in the $550 to $850 a month range. The shortage has caused over three thousand people to commute into jobs in Knox county. Most of these people come from the Evansville area. A meeting Thursday brought together city and county leaders to go over the results of the study. It also looked at possible development areas. This included areas in downtown Vincennes. There were also potential areas in Monroe City and Oaktown. Two areas in downtown Bicknell are also being highlighted as a potential for rentals.
