Roseville Senior Housing Market Feasibility Report Key Findings The City of Roseville conducted a senior housing market feasibility study in the summer of 1998. The following were key findings revealed from the research provided by Patricia McCullough with HP&MR. A full copy of the senior study is available at the Roseville Community Development Department. . Only 22 percent Roseville residents live in designated senior housing in Roseville. The remaining 78 percent of the senior came from outside of Roseville. . There is a larger percentage (19.2 percent) of seniors in Roseville than the state average (13.1 percent). The senior population is expected to continue to grow slightly in Roseville by 100 persons from 6,463 persons in 1998 to 6,573 persons in 2003. . Roseville seniors are slightly more affluent than seniors in the surrounding communities, including St. Paul. As an example, 81.4 percent of Roseville seniors between the age of 65-74 have annual incomes greater than $20,000 compared with 74.9 percent in the surrounding communities and only 47.7 percent in St. Paul. . There is a high occupancy rate in existing Roseville senior housing complexes. Nursing Homes: 89.5 percent Assisted Living: 98 percent Independent Congregate Facilities: 95 percent owner occupied and 99 percent rental units. . Focus group discussions revealed the following: There is a need for more affordable ($120,000 purchase price or $600- $900 rent per month) senior housing for Roseville seniors. Roseville is a desirable location for seniors to live because it is safe and close to shopping. Living next to their church is often important. The availability of public transportation is important. . Affordable senior housing is best developed in collaboration with an experienced social or institutional sponsor.
