The need for growth and densification directly relates to all three
values of equity, resilience and climate protection. Increasing market
supply of housing is a major strategy for curbing the rise in housing
prices and for increasing options for different household types, a more
diverse housing stock is a large component of social resilience, and
multifamily units lead to much lower carbon emissions per household.

Nashua’s population is
diversifying. The number of
Black, Asian, and Hispanic/
Latino residents increased
between 2013 and 2018
but White and Asian
households continue to
earn 2.5+ times the income
as Black and Hispanic/
Latino households. This has
impacts on affordability,
ability to pay for housing,
and concentrations of lower
income households in
certain parts of the city.
