Summary
Boise's first-of-its-kind study found capacity for roughly 162,000 more homes under current zoning — nearly four times projected growth through 2050 — with about 67,000 units realistic in the next 10-15 years. Most near-term capacity is on vacant land just outside city limits, while inside the city it's scattered across thousands of smaller parcels, meaning infill will need different strategies.
