OMAHA—A CITY OF HOMES
(Second of a series of articles pre
pared by the Publicity Bureau)
Nearly half of the people who live,
in Omaha—48.4%—own homes. Only
three cities in the United States show
a larger percentage, the highest be
ing 51.1%.
In addition to its large number of
home owners, Omaha has tne added
advantage of being without slums
and tenements.
The latest census shows a total c*
44,799 homes owned by Omahans. Of
this number 22.8% were entirely free
from debt. There were 41,520 fam
ilies. Of this number 19,099 owned
their homes, 5,000 lived in apartments
and 4,000 in flats. The average cost
of homes is estimated at $5,000 each.
The annual increase of home owner
ship in Omaha during the last twenty
years has been steady and rapid. In
1900, 27.7% of the population owned
homes. In 1910 the number had in
creased to 39.8%. Between 1900 and
1920 there was a gain of 20.7%.
Omaha’s annual gain in home own
ership has been higher and steadier
than that of any of the three leading
cities, advancing at a rate of approxi
mately 1% a year in the last two
decades. Of the three cities which
have a higher percentage of home
ownership than Omaha, the first in
creased 12.6% in the last 20 years,
the second 8.8%, and the third
6.4%. Every indication points toward
Omaha taking first place within the
next three or four years.
I
Where nearly half of the total pop
ulation own the homes in which they
live and where the average value per
home Is $5,000, it is evident that a
great many of the homes are owned
by people of medium financial stand
ing. This condition is largely re
sponsible for the absence of slums and
tenenments in Omaha.
While the rich residences in the
suburbs attest the wealth of the city,
thousands of smaller dwellings give
proof of the well-being of Omaha's
salaried and wage-earning class.
Oraaha's 13 public playgrounds, its
23 parks, municipal bathing beach,
tennis courts and golf courses,, it.
170 churches and the fact that 90rt
of its children attend public schools,
are further evidence of the well-being
of family life in the city.
Men purchase homes only in cities j
in which they have confidence. Those ;
who own homes own part of a city.
They represent that city when they
do business. Those who deal with
Omaha are likely to be dealing with
home owners.
