From:
Geoff Fruin City Manager
Re:
Sister City Appointment
At the October 21, 2025 meeting the City Council adopted a Sister City program framework. This
framework included a provision that at least one current member of the Iowa City Council will
serve as a voting member of any non-profit organization that manages a Sister City relationship.
While no Sister City relationships have been established to date, there are discussions taking
place amongst interested community members. The Mayor and Mayor Pro Tern have requested
that the City Council informally appoint one Councilor to be a liaison to members of the community
that are contemplating taking the next step in creating a Sister City relationship.
Any informal appointment made by the City Council at this time can be formalized at the
organizational meeting in January 2026 when all Council appointments are determined.

Re:
Housing Information
At your October 15, 2024 work session you asked staff to provide you housing related information
on a recurring basis prior to each City Council meeting. Staff intends to add to this memo with each
Information Packet that is publicly released prior to formal City Council meetings.
We welcome feedback on the type of information that you believe will be most informative and useful
in your roles as City Councilors.

conducted across the country of sheltered and unsheltered
people experiencing homelessness on a single night in
January. In 2023, the count revealed 160 sheltered and 18
unsheltered individuals in Johnson County. In 2024, the
count revealed 159 sheltered and 22 unsheltered
individuals in Johnson County.
Housing Choice Voucher Utilization Rate: The
utilization rate refers to the number of housing choice
vouchers that are under lease as a percentage of total
vouchers available. As of July 2024, the national utilization
rate is 86.23%. The State of Iowa utilization rate is
82.74%. The Iowa City Housing Authority utilization rate of
92.85% exceeds both the national and state figures.

was $274,000 for a condominium (up 8.5%). However, the
median sales price per square foot only increased 8.3%,
which suggests some of the increase is due to the size of
homes. In addition, the active inventory has increased
37.7%, which can help slow inflationary pressures.

Housing Coalition computes housing wages across the
country (the hourly wage rate needed to afford housing in

metropolitan area, the 2-bedroom housing wage is $20.81. 1'
Cost Burden: A household is considered housing cost
burdened if it spends more than 30% of its income on
housing expenses, including rent, mortgage payments,
and utilities. In 2023, 59.3% of renters and 18.0% of
owners were housing cost burdened. Households with
lower incomes are more likely to experience cost burden
91 % of households making less than $35,000 are cost
burdened.
Cost of Home Construction: The NAHB regularly
conducts a national, non -statistically valid survey of
builders about the cost breakdowns for a new single-family
home. In 2024, the average finished area of a new home
was 2,647 square feet, and the average total sales price
was $665,298. Construction costs accounted for
approximately 64.4% of the sales price. Meanwhile, the
finished lot cost was 13.7% of the sales price, while other
overhead costs — including financing, general expenses,
marketing, and sales commissions — made up another

March 6, ICAAR Days on Market Trends: ICAAR collects data
2025 about how long homes are listed for sale on the market. In
Feb. 2025, the median Days on Market (DOM) in Iowa City
was 36 for single-family (up 38.5% from Feb. 2024) and
was 28 for condominiums (up 24.4%). While DOM
increased this past year, these numbers still suggest many
homes are selling relatively quickly, and there is a strong
demand for housing compared to supply.

Utility Expenses: The cost of utilities is an important
component of monthly housing expenditures. The Iowa
Finance Authority (I FA) recently funded a dashboard that
allows public utility providers in Iowa to compare water and
sewer rates from FY23. For a residential customer using
5,000 gallons of water and sewer service, Iowa City
monthly rate is $60.73 which is in the lowest 20% of bills
charged (the median in Iowa is $85.60). When a residential
customer only uses 4,000 gallons of water and sewer
service, Iowa City's rate drops to the lowest 10% of bills
charged at $50.30 (compared to the Iowa median of

July 3, Price -to -Income Ratio: Every year, Harvard University
2025 publishes a State of the Nation's Housing report. One
metric it uses to quantify affordability is the Price -to -Income
Ratio which compares the median sales price of existing
single family homes to the median household income within
each housing market. A ratio of 3.0 (i.e. the median home
sales price is 3 times the median income) is traditionally
considered affordable. Higher ratios are considered less
affordable. In 2024, the ratio for the Iowa City metro was
4.25, which is the second year in a row above 4.0. Since
1980, Iowa City has been primarily in the 3.0 to 3.9 range.
July 31, Income Limits: Each year, the U.S. Department of
2025 Housing and Urban Development publishes income limits
for federally assisted housing based on the Area Median
Income (AMI) for each metropolitan area. Households
earning less than 80% AMI are classified as low income,
while those earning below 60% AMI are often prioritized for
federally assisted rental housing. As of June 1, 2025, a 4-
person household in Iowa City is considered low income if
their annual income is below $94,550 (80% AMI). The 60%
AMI threshold is $70,920 for a 4-person household. These
limits represent a 3.1 % increase from 2024.
August 14, Resident Mobility: Resident mobility shapes housing
2025 1 markets by influencing demand, turnover, and
neighborhood stability. Younger adults, including university
students and early -career professionals, move more
frequently, while older adults tend to pursue more stable
housing. In Iowa City, only 45% of adult Gen Z'ers (aged
18-29) lived in the same house the year before, compared
to 79% of Millennials (aged 30-44), 89% of Gen Kers (aged
45-59) and 93% of older generations (aged 60+).

2025
and Washington Counties recently published a Community I Community Needs
Needs Assessment, which includes an impact goal for
everyone to have safe, stable housing that they can afford.
One metric they tracked was the number of people seeking
formal housing services or shelter. Their data indicates
2,194 people in Johnson County sought services in 2023.
Approximately 26% were children under 18, 9% were youth
aged 18-24, 50% were adults aged 25-54, and 15% were
adults aged 55+. Note that many individuals facing housing
instability utilize informal housing methods, so this data
does not reflect the full needs present in the County.
Poverty Status: Poverty status means a household's
income is below the federal poverty threshold for its size,
indicating they may struggle to meet basic needs. People
living in poverty often spend a larger share of their income
on housing, which can lead to overcrowding, housing
instability, or difficulty affording other necessary expenses.
In 2023, 26.3% of Iowa City residents were determined to
be below the poverty level. Much of this is due to Iowa
City's large student population. Approximately 65.5% of
those enrolled in undergraduate and graduate school were
determined to be below the poverty level, compared to
10.6% of the remaining population.

Mortgage Interest Rates: Freddie Mac conducts a survey
on primary mortgage interest rates every week. Interest
rates affect the cost of homeownership, with higher interest
rates leading to higher costs as more money is paid
towards interest. For the week of November 6, the 30-year
fixed rate mortgage averaged 6.22%, which is 0.57% lower
than it was one year ago. While this is near the long-term
average, it is higher than the historically low interest rates
experienced in the years following the pandemic.

Re: Iowa City Housing Authority Waiting List Update
Data on the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) and Public Housing (PH) waitlists is provided monthly
by the Iowa City Housing Authority (ICHA). ICHA prioritizes applicants using criteria reviewed and
approved by City Council, with the top preference category consisting of households that live and/or
work in ICHA's jurisdiction (Johnson and Iowa Counties, and Washington County north of Highway
92) and are elderly, disabled or have minor children. Preference category information is provided
periodically due to technical constraints.
Waitlists are regularly updated consistent with best practice to ensure applicants remain eligible, are
interested in staying on the waitlist, and are accurately classified in the appropriate preference
category. The most recent waitlist update was implemented May 2025.
