It's residents, on average are: A. Older than the average Minnesota and Twin Cities area residents. B. There are fewer children and more senior citizens. C. There is a higher proportion of"baby boomers". D. There is more owner-occupied and less rental housing. E. There is a high proportion of two wage earner households. F. The City is more affluent than most. Arden Hills Minnesota Twin City Metro Area(Average) Median age (yrs.) 36.2 35.4 34.3 years Under 18 yrs old 20.0% 26.2% 26.4% 65 yrs and over 13.9% 12.1% 35% 45-59 yrs old 21.7% 18.1% 17.3% Housing Own/Rent 88% / 12% 75% /25% 71.4% / 28.6% Implications: Over the next 10-20 years a significant proportion of Arden Hills residents will retire. Some will move out of the community, some may move to a smaller home and some will stay in their current home. This probably means some degree of change in neighborhood and community demo- graphics. The higher median home values in Arden Hills may result in a higher proportion of estab- lished families and fewer first time homebuyers. Some new residents are likely to be younger and have more children than existing residents. The City should continue to monitor changes and to work with the school district to track demographic and student population changes. If the change is signifi- cant the city can restructure recreation programs and may need to re-evaluate facility supply. Discre- tionary time is likely to remain at a premium. Many senior citizens are active park and trail users. 13
