HOUSING

Shelter is essential to the human experience. Without decent shelter, residents suffer economically, educationally and health-wise. Recently, the ability of a community to offer shelter appropriate to residents’ budgets has become severely strained in the U.S. As a result, Whitman County Trends offers several indicators of availability, value, and cost of housing.

A full definition of each indicator, as well as its relevance to Whitman County, can be found in the More Information section. The data are available in a spreadsheet via the Download Data tab.
