8 | Page <br />City of Little Canada Housing Study - 2025 <br />Section One – Comparative Analysis <br />This section provides a broader context for Little Canada’s population, housing stock, and <br />housing market by comparing it to nearby communities. <br /> <br />Little Canada is compared to nine reference cities: <br />1. Arden Hills <br />2. Maplewood <br />3. North St. Paul <br />4. Richfield <br />5. Roseville <br />6. St. Anthony <br />7. Shoreview <br />8. Vadnais Heights <br />9. White Bear Lake <br />These communities were selected based on geographic proximity, demographic similarities, and <br />their frequent use in other city planning initiatives. <br /> <br />Additionally, the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Statistical Area (Twin Cities Metro) is <br />included to provide regional context on population demographics and selected housing <br />characteristics. <br /> <br />Much of the data in this study is derived from the American Community Survey (ACS), which <br />provides estimates rather than exact figures. While ACS data is valuable for identifying trends <br />and making comparisons, it carries margins of error and should not be interpreted as precise. <br />
