St. Anthony 2040 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 5: Housing <br />50 <br /> <br />St. Anthony provides a higher percentage and more diverse array of <br />affordable housing options than many metro communities, but provides a <br />smaller share of units affordable to households whose incomes range <br />from 31-50% of AMI. <br />FIGURE 5-3: EXISTING AFFORDABLE UNITS <br />City <br />Existing Affordable Units <br />at <30% AMI at 31-50% AMI at 51-80% AMI Total Affordable <br />Units <br />St. Anthony 9% 15% 35% 60% <br />Roseville 7% 16% 48% 72% <br />New Brighton 7% 33% 38% 77% <br />Columbia Heights 7% 49% 42% 98% <br />Robbinsdale 9% 42% 43% 94% <br />Source: Met Council Existing Housing Assessment 2017 <br /> <br />Rental Affordability <br />St. Anthony’s rental housing landscape looks different than it did 20 years <br />or even a decade ago. About 30 percent of the city’s existing rental stock <br />has been constructed over just the past 15 years. <br />A 2017 Ehlers assessment looked in depth at the affordability of available <br />rental housing in St. Anthony. Of the 13 rental properties and 1,458 rental <br />units comprising the study, the assessment found that more than 80 <br />percent of these units can be considered affordable at some level. In a <br />similar manner to the Metropolitan Council’s 2016 housing assessment, <br />the Ehlers assessment shows affordability broken down by AMI bands. <br />The greatest share of affordable rental housing in St. Anthony is <br />affordable at 50% of AMI and above. <br /> <br />Number of <br />Properties <br />Number of <br />Units <br />Number of <br />Affordable units <br />Percent of Units <br />Affordable <br />Number & <br />Percent <br />Affordable at <br />30% of AMI <br />Number & <br />Percent <br />Affordable at <br />50% of AMI <br />Number & <br />Percent <br />Affordable at <br />60% of AMI <br />45 423 753 <br />4%35%62%13 1,458 1,221 84%
