Eau Claire: House Values for White Population
The highest concentration (under $50,000) of low value housing is in
the student housing area (student ghetto). The highest
concentration ($500,000-$1 Mil) of high value housing is in an
area to the south of the University. The maps show that most homes
in this mapped area of Eau Claire are valued under $200,000. The map of
Median House Value for the
White population shows the pattern of house value well.The pattern probably has something to do with the history of the housing. The student housing area used to be housing for lumber workers, which was never meant to be lavish. Most of the houses are 1.5 to 2 stories with a number of small rooms. The areas with higher valued housing were either built to be valuable, or are new, desireable housing. Wealthier people built the homes to begin with.
