New home rates are slowing near Keller ISD as space for more development decreases, according to data from Zonda Demographics.
Members of the Keller ISD’s Long Range Planning and Citizens Advisory Bond Committees were provided a presentation of the latest enrollment and housing trends at a meeting Feb. 5.
Current situation
New home in 2025 starts and closings are expected to finish below the 2024 totals, according to the presentation. Housing starts are when construction for a new development begins, according to the National Association of Home Builders, while a closing is when ownership is passed to a buyer. District enrollment has decreased by 4,370 students over the last five years.
Slower job growth in the region, declining birthrates and an increase in other education opportunities also are contributing to the enrollment decline at KISD, according to the district.
