St. Anthony 2040 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 3: Community Profile <br />15 <br /> <br />Age demographics <br />The median age in St. Anthony is 43, compared with 36 for Hennepin <br />County and 35 for Ramsey County. Currently, St. Anthony has a higher <br />proportion of seniors (over the age of 65) than either Hennepin or Ramsey <br />County on the whole. In fact, St. Anthony’s percentage of senior residents <br />was nearly double that of Hennepin County in 2010. Providing adequate <br />housing and services for residents of advanced age has been and will <br />continue to be a priority for the City of St. Anthony. However, as senior <br />residents age out of their long-time family homes, St. Anthony’s population <br />is transitioning to younger residents and families. FIGURE 3-6 below shows <br />declines in seniors and a significant increase in the percentage of residents <br />in their 20s in the decade from 2000 to 2010. <br />FIGURE 3-6: AGE DEMOGRAPHICS OF ST.
