are condos in Planning District 12 (at over $306,000 per unit), adjacent to the highest value single-family housing in the city. The lowest value units are the condos with the preponderance of children in Planning District 6, where per-unit value is under $50,000. The townhomes are more evenly distributed in value between $100,000 and $200,000 per unit throughout the community. The values are based upon Ramsey County Tax Assessment Date, 2003. Income: The average income per household varies quite substantially across the different types of ownership units. Condo owners earn an average of about $40,000 per household, while senior apartment owners earn an average of under $27,000. Townhome owners, meanwhile, earn an average of over $92,000 per household— more than double the condo owners' incomes. Diversity: Senior apartments (ownership) have the least racial diversity of the various ownership types. They have nearly 97 percent white residents, just over 1 percent Asian American residents, and just under 1 percent African Americans. The senior complexes have no minority representation above 5 percent across all racial minority categories. Condo units are the most diverse of the ownership types, with about 13 percent of the residents being people of color. African Americans comprise nearly 8 percent of condo owners, and Asian Americans represent nearly 3 percent. Townhomes in Roseville are owned by nearly 90 percent white residents. Minority townhome owners are more lilcely to be Asian American (over 5 percent), than African American (under 2 percent). 2. Rental Unit Summary: 2.a. Units Designated for Seniors: There are over 700 senior residents living in four rental apartment complexes that are designated for seniors. Most of them live alone; the average number of persons per household in these units is 1.11. The residents are predominantly over the age of 85, though many are between ages 75 and 84. Tenure and Moving Trends: About a quarter of the seniors who moved into senior rental units in the past few years (between 1999 and 2002) moved from other residences in Roseville. About 16 percent of the seniors moved from elsewhere in the 11-county area, and just a handful moved from other addresses in the I-35W Corridor cities. The majority of the senior renters moved from single-family dwellings or else from other senior housing. Seniors tend to have lived in their units between 2 and 4 years. Of those seniors who moved out of Roseville multifamily housing units in the past few years, about half of them stayed in Roseville and half moved to other parts of the 11- county metro. There was little indication that seniors were relocating to other Corridor cities. As may be expected, older residents moving out of senior housing in Roseville chose other senior-designated dwellings for their next residences.
