Overview

The map on the left shows the percentage of home renters in Wheeler County. For households just getting started this is the most common housing option. Renting a home means ...

  • •  Greater flexibility in living options
  • •  Lower up-front costs than owning
  • •  No long-term commitment
  • •  No maintenance costs or repair bills
  • •  No real estate taxes

Base on various studies, neighborhoods with high percentages of rented homes tend to be more risky over time. Thereby creating a poorer environment for raising children, creating long term relationships and development of a stronger neighborhood (e.g. crime prevention and civic pride)
