A chart accompanying this announcement is available at http://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/e58eb9f5-d8a7-4190-a1d5-c6b0f007aac3
As of Sept. 14, ApartmentData.com surveyed 1,926, or 70.7 percent of those 2,725 properties.
Key survey findings:
“As we continue to learn how apartment properties were affected by Harvey, I am surprised by the relatively low number of units damaged,” McClenny said. “The most realistic comparison we can make is to Tropical Storm Allison, when we lost five percent of the supply, which was 20,000 units. Harvey was a much larger storm that created flooding across the entire region and we are only seeing about two percent of the supply affected so far. We still have to assess more properties so that percentage is likely to increase,” he added.
