<br />Housin2: Needs bv A2:e Group <br /> <br />Information about the age groups of a population can be used to project the types of <br />housing that will be needed in the community. Housing needs can be roughly equated to <br />age categories as follows: <br /> <br />A2:e Group <br /> <br />Housin2: Needs <br /> <br />65+ - Older Residents <br /> <br />Affordable Rental Housing <br />Starter Single-Family Homes, Attached or Detached, <br />or Remain in Rental Housing <br />Move-Up Single-Family Homes <br />Remain in Single-Family Homes, or Move to <br />Attached Ownership or Rental Housing <br />Remain in Single-Family Homes, or Move to <br />Attached Ownership or Rental Housing <br /> <br />18-24 - New Households <br />25-34 - First-Time Homebuyers <br /> <br />35-54 - Move-Up Homebuyers <br />55-64 - Empty-Nesters <br /> <br />To test the housing type needs and preferences of the age groups described above, the <br />1990 Census can be consulted for information on ownership and rental housing, by age of <br />the head of household. For each age group, the Census provides the number of <br />households actually living in rental, or ownership, housing in 1990. This information is <br />shown in Table Six. <br /> <br />Table Six <br />Ownership and Rental Housing by Age Group, 1990 <br />City of - <br /> <br />Age Group Ownership - Number of Rental - Number of <br /> Households and Percent Households and Percent <br /> of A2:e Group of A2:e GrouD <br />15-24 30 - 10.7% 250 - 89.3% <br />25-34 880 - 55.5% 705 - 44.5% <br />35-54 1,966 - 77.6% 567 - 22.4% <br />55-64 1,187 - 87.7% 167 - 12.3% <br />65+ 1,402 - 69.6% 612 - 30.4% <br />Totals 5,465 2,301 <br /> <br />Source: 1990 Census, Metropolitan Council <br /> <br />12 <br />
