Hidden in Plain Sight: Capturing the Demand for Housing Near Transit (CTOD)
Federal Transit Administration
National to present
“Hidden in Plain Sight” set out to assess the national market for transit-oriented development (TOD). To achieve
this, the Center for Transit-Oriented Development (CTOD) built a database containing demographic information for
the nation’s 3,341 existing fixed transit stops and the 630 additional stations that are scheduled to be built by
2025. Working with Strategic Economics, CTOD used the demographic information in the database to identify the
types of households that have a preference for living in transit-oriented communities. Along with information on
national real estate and consumer trends, “Hidden in Plain Sight” assesses the potential demand for TOD.
