CommunityScale completed housing needs assessments for Bracken, Mason, and Robertson Counties, three rural counties in Kentucky’s Buffalo Trace Area Development District. Each assessment gave its county a clear, data-driven picture of current and projected housing demand, the existing stock, and the gaps between them, establishing a foundation for local housing policy and production goals. By examining three very different rural communities under a shared framework, the work showed how a consistent methodology can be tailored to the distinct market and affordability pressures each county faces. Full reports were delivered for Bracken, Mason, and Robertson Counties, giving the Buffalo Trace region a common evidence base for action.
