Manchester Land Use

One of Manchester's many strengths is its diverse mix of land uses. While nearly half of all land in Manchester is currently in residential use, significant percentages are also used for public, commercial and industrial purposes. The result is a healthy tax base, and convenient access to goods, services and jobs for Manchester residents.

Approximate Percentage of Use as of 2006

Residential: 49% ( Single-Family: 43%, Multi-Family: 6%)

Commercial: 8%

Industrial: 7%

Public or Istitutional: 31%

Privately-Owned Undeveloped: 5%
