Summary
The updated study shows Green Bay's population dipped slightly while households grew by 7.4% since 2010 — meaning more one- and two-person homes needing smaller units. Consultants say building market-rate housing can 'filter' older stock down to lower-income residents, and the missing-middle gap persists.
