LAND VALUE ASSESSMENT NEAR BUS TRANSIT FACILITIES: A CASE STUDY OF SELECTED TRANSIT CENTERS IN HOUSTON, TEXAS

This study is designed to measure the potential impacts of transportation facilities upon land values of contiguous properties compared to non-contiguous properties, within a quarter-mile "zone of influence". A survey was designed and randomly administered to residents within each stated zone of influence, and provided information about the neighborhood and land values. The results of the survey were compared to data from Harris county appraisal district. Census data were obtained to measure demographic changes from 1980 to 1990 and determine the relationship between socioeconomic variables and the transit facility.
