<br />Rosevill~ - General Population Observations <br />(Revised June 6, 2003) <br />Source: Excensus Demographics, U of Mn. CURA, and Roseville Community Development Staff <br /> <br /> <br />1. Roseville has one of the lowest number of young residents under the age <br />of 18 at 21 % of the total population and declining. This is similar to <br />Richfield, St. Louis Park, Golden Valley and Hopkins. The number of <br />children in Roseville declined by 16% from 1990.2000 and families (two <br />parents) with children declined by 6%. Today, less than 13% of the <br />households have children with two parents. Roseville also has the <br />second lowest population per household at less than 2.2 residents (only <br />St. Louis Park is less). We are becoming less "school centric", meaning <br />as we age our schools will be less ableto fulfill community needs - more <br />programmatic support may be asked of the city or others. <br /> <br />2. Roseville owner occupied homes "turn over" at slightly more than 4 % <br />per year, but of those movers, 25 % find more accommodating homes in <br />Roseville. This means there is "housing choice and diversity of styles" in <br />the community to accommodate different stages of life. <br /> <br /> <br />3. Roseville is losing "market share" of young workers. From 1990 to <br />2000, the number of Roseville's 25 to 34 year olds declined by 23%.Of <br />all the age groups - nearly 68% of the young workers from 25 through <br />44 leave the rental housing community permanently. Conversely only <br />22 % of this same age group is retained in the community. This points <br />out that Roseville is a "starting point" but not a 'tanding point" and <br />volunteers for young families because of unavailability of work force <br />owner-occupied, single family detached housing. <br /> <br />4. In the future, of those who set up households ft'om 2000 to 2020, the <br />under 25 age householder group will remain stable at 4 % of the <br />population through 2020; the 25-34 year olds will decline from 15 % to <br />12 % of the population; the 35 to 44 year olds will decline from 17 % to <br />12%; and the 45 to 54 years olds will decline from 19% to 14%. The <br />55-64 year olds will remain staHe at 14%; the 65-74 age group will <br />increase from 14% to 16%; and the 75+ age group will increase from <br />17% to 27% of the total population. <br /> <br />1 <br />
