44 <br /> The housing market in Orange County's urban centers, particularly Chapel Hill and Carrboro, <br /> remains highly competitive, driven by strong employment opportunities, a thriving commercial <br /> sector, and a vibrant entertainment scene.This demand has also extended to suburban and semi- <br /> rural areas surrounding these urban hubs,where substantial residential development has taken <br /> place in recent years.As a result, housing availability remains tight across the county, making <br /> affordability and accessibility key concerns for both existing and prospective residents. <br /> Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? <br /> The urban centers of Orange County, particularly Chapel Hill and Carrboro, offer the most <br /> established community and public facilities, including a top public university, free public transit, <br /> entertainment venues, shopping districts, and parks, making them key hubs for economic and <br /> social activity. Meanwhile,the rural areas of the county are rich in environmental assets, providing <br /> access to natural spaces, conservation areas, and outdoor recreation.These areas also benefit <br /> from strong community networks, supported by numerous local organizations that enhance social <br /> cohesion and cultural engagement. <br /> Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? <br /> Neighborhoods in Orange County's urban centers, such as Chapel Hill and Carrboro, provide <br /> convenient access to key community amenities, including entertainment venues, shopping <br /> districts, and public transit. However, housing in these areas is often unaffordable, particularly for <br /> low-and moderate-income households, creating a need for more affordable and accessible <br /> housing options. In contrast, rural neighborhoods can offer moderately more affordable <br /> homeownership opportunities, but they often lack quality rental housing and proximity to essential <br /> services, employment centers and public transit. Expanding the availability of affordable rental <br /> housing in both urban and rural areas, and expanding transit in rural areas, can help address these <br /> disparities and create more affordable living opportunities throughout the county. <br /> MA-60 Broadband Needs of Housing occupied by Low- and Moderate- <br /> Income Households - 91 .210(a)(4), 91 .310(a)(2) <br /> Describe the need for broadband wiring and connections for households, including low-and <br /> moderate-income households and neighborhoods. <br /> As of the 2019-2023 American Community Survey estimates, 93.6%of households in Orange <br /> County, North Carolina, have a broadband internet subscription, reflecting an increase from <br /> previous years. <br /> While overall broadband adoption has improved, disparities persist among different demographic <br /> groups: <br /> • Minority Populations: Historically,African American (78%) and Hispanic (87%) households <br /> have had lower subscription rates compared to White and Asian households. <br /> 41 <br />
