Are some of the general occupancy <br />multifamily complexes becoming predominatelyrented to or owned by seniors? Are <br />school enrollments rising or declining over time? Is there an adequate mix of affordable <br />housing a�ailable throughoutthe planning districts in the city? <br />Policymakers must consider multifamilyhousing in light of other forces at work in the <br />city, such as the employer population. There are many employers that provide living- <br />wage jobs in Roseville that seek employees with the right match of skills and experience. <br />Multifamilyresidentsplay an importantrole in definingthe local laborpool forretail and <br />commerciaUindustrial businesses. It is important that Roseville employers maintain <br />access to a qualified labor pool so they are not compelled to relocate to another city (and <br />take their taY base with them). A strong community provides a variety of housing that is <br />affordable to the people who work there. <br />A Snapshot of Roseville's Demographics: <br />More than one in four Roseville residents live in multifamily housing. Of all the city's <br />housing units (15,600 total), just over half are freestanding single-familyhomes. The rest <br />of the housing is multifamilyunits, single-family attached units, or mobile homes. Fewer <br />than 400 new rental properties ha�e been built in Roseville since 1990. A mini housing <br />boom tookplace in 2000 when 169 units were built (113 rental, 56 owner-occupied). <br />E�$F�,I: �1�,.�Er�B��FYPE� �i}E ��SJf�ia 1i�1 kQ���`E�95� TsC:��Rt SppkCC�-. <br />{ � ._���,�� <br />� � r����+��h <br />More than half of Roseville's owner-occupied housing has a head of household over the <br />age 55. The income threshold for homeownership in Roseville is roughly $50,000, below <br />which most residents are renters. Only 3.5 percent of all Roseville residents live below <br />the federally determined poverty line (per the 1990 Census); this figure is much lower <br />than Ramsey County's 11 percent of residents living in poverty, and lower than the 11- <br />county metro area a�erage of 8 percent. <br />]1�.� F R� � F?�I��C]�hTAFI[,�.'�I.fi��i;Ai�i7il�i; �+t}}� ���li����� F,i�il'�`5 f�+l �k�� <br />��F�fjQh $ �F1�T���.� ��. ���fi*��� ���3�F{T�i <br />The city's multifamily housing residents are more racially diverse than those who live in <br />single-familydetached homes.
