• <br />• <br />• <br />Househo /d Tenure <br />There is very little rental housing in Lino Lakes or any of its rapidly developing neighbors (Chart <br />4 -2). As of 2000, more than 96 percent of Lino Lakes' households were in owner - occupied units. <br />Forest Lake was the only community with fewer than 90 percent of its households in owner - <br />occupied units. This is largely because Forest Lake developed initially as a freestanding <br />community that regularly constructed rental housing to meet the needs of a small but growing <br />employment base. <br />Even when Lino Lakes is analyzed as two distinct areas (west or east of the Regional Park), there <br />is no significant difference in the prevalence of renter - occupied housing. Well over 90 percent of <br />both areas of Lino Lakes consist of owner - occupied households. <br />Chart 4 -2: Household Tenure <br />Pct. of Households <br />100% - <br />80% <br />60% <br />40% - <br />20% - <br />0% <br />96% <br />94% <br />NI <br />Household Tenure <br />as of 2000 <br />98% <br />Lino Lakes: Total Lino: W of Park Lino: E of Park <br />Source: 2000 US Census <br />Units in Structure <br />Blaine <br />• Owner occupied • Renter occupied <br />95% <br />Hugo <br />i <br />Forest Lake <br />Single- family homes dominate the housing stock in Lino Lakes and Hugo (Chart 4 -3). The <br />historical development pattern of Blaine and Forest Lake, however, has created a slightly more <br />varied housing stock with respect to the type of units in those communities. In Blaine, nearly 15 <br />percent of the housing stock are mobile homes, which were developed predominantly in the <br />1960s and 1970s when Blaine was beyond the developing edge of the metro area. Forest Lake, <br />in contrast, initially developed as a freestanding community that has regularly built apartment <br />buildings to meet the needs of a growing employment base, which is reflected in the 15 percent <br />proportion of its housing stock that are located in buildings of 10 or more units. <br />Similar to tenure, there is very little difference between the areas of Lino Lakes that are west and <br />east of the Chain of Lakes Park. Both areas are comprised mostly of detached, single - family <br />homes, which account for over 90 percent of the housing stock. <br />4 -5 <br />
