In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the housing landscape in Terafil, a village within Simsbury, revealing key insights from a recent survey. Terafil comprises approximately 7.3% of all housing units in Simsbury, with a total of 688 housing units. The demographic breakdown shows that 57% of these units are single-family homes, while 43% are multi-family structures, a stark contrast to the town's overall statistics where only 23% of homes are multi-family.

The meeting highlighted the ownership dynamics in Terafil, where 58% of the units are owner-occupied compared to 74% in the broader Simsbury area. Conversely, 35% of Terafil's housing is renter-occupied, reflecting a significant difference in housing trends between the village and the town.

Officials noted the existing diversity within Terafil, encompassing various educational backgrounds, ages, and ethnicities, which they view as an asset for the community. This diversity is already present, eliminating the need for external efforts to foster inclusivity.

Additionally, the discussion touched on the age of the housing stock in Terafil, indicating a predominance of older homes. The analysis revealed that many houses date back to before 1939, contributing to the village's unique character. The meeting concluded with a focus on the current housing and rental market, emphasizing the need for further exploration of house values and monthly rents in the area.
