Through policy and funding, the City would like to at least maintain and preferably increase the number of units available to consumers requiring this type of housing. Low income housing in Fort Collins is for people who earn 80% or less Area Median Income.

Fort Collins' Cost of Housing Index (CHI) compared to Western Metropolitan Areas

The CHI represents the portion of a typical family’s income needed to make a mortgage payment on a median-priced home. For example, a CHI reading of 38% means a typical family in the U.S. would need to allocate 38% of its pre-tax income to cover the mortgage payment for a median-priced home.

Voluntary Speed Compliance
This monthly metric (averaged by quarter) measures speed compliance to 30 mph zones throughout the city. Speeding through neighborhoods can be a quality of life issue for many. Fort Collins is an outdoor activity centered city, with many of its residents frequently enjoying the outdoors in the neighborhoods. Speeding through neighborhoods, commonly a 30 mph zone, can be of concern, especially if near a school, or an area with many children present. This metric measures the compliance rate to those 30 mph zones, and can assist with identifying areas for education and enforcement efforts.
