How much housing do I need?

[Ace]

Is there somewhere to look to see how much housing is needed?

It is hard to estimate because only families live together, unless shelter.
It also seems to me that the family grows over time so they need a bigger house, else they look for a new house.
I build two shelters to buffer those who need housing.

roughly 1 house per adult couple I think, I do know no more that two adults per house doesn't matter how many rooms it has, they like to fill the extra rooms with kids and resources stolen from a unlocked warehouse.

If you mouse over your population counter in the Status panel it gives you a full breakdown of your Residents, housing, and number in each Class. This should help. Also having a Shelter will let you know at a glance if you have people not in a house. If that fills up you'll get a notice on the right saying you don't have enough housing and the homeless will have an orange house symbol over their heads. Empty houses don't cost you any upkeep so having a few ready for new residents is a good idea.

A lot. It has a habit of snowballing real hard the further you come.

At peak I had like 310 houses (all two story) and they kept asking for more because too many teens turned into adults.

Thank you fellow city builders. :)

You need lots. Especially when you get to this point:

This map is cool. I haven't looked into other maps yet, just the first one, which I didn't like as much design wise. What map is this?

Can't remember what it's called. But it's one of the 'easy' ones by default.
Edit: The map is the 'Twin Islands' default normal (not easy), and it's 3 to the right when clicking through the maps.
