An important indicator of risk in the community involves property value, occupancy rate, and ownership
status of homes in a community's neighborhoods. Often, homes with less value, vacant houses, and rental
properties are maintained and repaired less often than those in higher-value categories. More than 60% of
the homes in Nashua are valued between $250,000 and $400,000.

There is little developable land in Nashua that remains undeveloped. It constitutes approximately 100 acres
and is currently zoned for R-40.
There is a massive housing demand occurring in the city. An estimated 0.6% of housing units are vacant. The
City is planning for this by rezoning certain areas. There are two parcels in the city that are designated as
Transit Oriented Development (TOD). These zones are in the vicinity of the two proposed commuter rail
stations. The Crown Street TOD is approximately 234 acres and the Daniel Webster TOD is approximately
565 acres. These areas have been up-zoned from industrial to high density housing, and the infrastructure is
already in place. The City of Nashua is estimating that there could be a 5% increase in population from 2020-
30.
The City of Nashua is actively pursuing and achieving more conservation easements. Currently, there are
1,292.2 acres of conservation easements. This represents 6.3% of Nashua’s land area. 82.2 % of this land has
been obtained since 2000.
