How will the City know if the new zoning is working?

The City is part of a national project called the Data Track Initiative that helps communities see how zoning changes are working over time.

• We’ll track how many new homes are built, what kinds they are, and where they’re located.
• We’ll look at whether the new rules are helping create more housing choices and keeping homes affordable.
• We’ll also see how growth is fitting into neighborhoods and supporting goals like sustainability.

By watching these trends, the City can understand what’s working well and make changes if needed to keep Missoula on the right path.
