Does an area with military dormitories meet the intent of a 'residential area'? The military dormitories house single service members and geographical bachelors. In our project, military dormitories are the only housing available in the neighborhood. A response above states 'the definition of "residential area" at the end of the SSc2 section in the reference guide, it mentions single family, multifamily homes, townhomes, apartments, duplexes, condos, or mobile homes.' We are verifying the housing density for compliance with the credit but we want ensure a dormitory is acceptable under this credit.

I have successfully documented this credit using University dorms for the "residential area". If you do a search in the comments for dormitory and/or dorms you will find others who have also successfully used dorms for this credit.
