An organization that serves a lower density <br />service area requires more time spent driving to and from jobsites and must maintain more infrastructure per resident <br />(i.e., greater lengths of roads per resident, more water pipe per resident, etc.). Figure 9 shows that, from a streets <br />perspective, Lake Elmo is substantially less dense than its peers. The average peer has 266 residents per street mile, <br />while Lake Elmo has only 139 residents per street mile. In other words, Lake Elmo maintains almost twice the length <br />of roadway per resident as its average peer. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />21.7% <br />2.5% <br />10.8% <br />-5.7% <br />1.2% <br />0.0% <br />0.3%0.0% <br />-10% <br />-5% <br />0% <br />5% <br />10% <br />15% <br />20% <br />25% <br />Lake Elmo North St. Paul Hugo Stillwater New Brighton Oakdale Forest Lake Mounds View <br />% Change in Population (2019 -2023)
