8. Project Study Area Demographics To understand the mix of housing and people who live in the area, a review of the demographics for the area was completed by city staff. The McCarrons Neighborhood Study Area is part of the Roseville Planning District 15. The study area includes single-familyhomes, multi-family apartments, townhomes, duplexes, a church, a State owned National Guard Armory, 13 business and/or older industrial buildings, and one gas station (Tom's Mobile). The following is a summary of the demographic conditions (Source: Census 2000 and City demographicsfiles) in the study area. Refer to Appendix A for the full Demographic Summary. 8 The total population in the area is 551, (approximately 1.5%of the total city population). 8 The study area is primarily a middle aged working adult neighborhood and totaling 68% of the residents. ■ The residents' median age is 43 years. 8 The total number of children under the age of 18 is lower than the city average of 5%. ■ The average household has 2 occupants (which is 10% lower than the city as a whole). ■ 17% of the households have children under age 18 —'/z of which have 2 parents in the household. ■ 21% of the households have seniors aged 65 years and older. ■ On a percent basis, there are actually fewer seniors (21%) living in these households than throughout the city (31%). (This may reflect the lack of senior housing in the area and the low number of seniors living in the rental units). � The rental units had a 2002 household income range of $43,000 to $47,000, while the majority of single family homes incomes range from $56,000 to $88,000. ■ There are 259 occupied housing units in the study area, of which 152 (58%)are owned and 107 (42%) are rental units. ■ Single family detached homes represent 141 units; there are 11 double dwelling units; 101 apartments, and 6 townhomes.
