St. Anthony 2040 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 3: Community Profile 21 The Housing Landscape In 2010, there were just over 4,000 housing units in St. Anthony village according to the U.S. Census. More recent 2016 estimates put the number of housing units closer to 4,250. Housing is the predominant land use in St. Anthony, and residential land uses account for half of St. Anthony’s total area. Housing unit types St. Anthony’s housing units are split almost evenly between single-family and multifamily types of units. While only seven percent of the community’s land use is dedicated to multifamily housing, FIGURE 3-12 shows that one half of all units are multifamily (according to 2016 estimates), which is a notable difference from surrounding communities, which have proportionately fewer multifamily units. FIGURE 3-12: ST. ANTHONY HOUSING UNITS BY HOUSING TYPE About half of St. Anthony’s homes were built before 1970. Around 42 percent of the city’s land is dedicated to single family detached homes, forming the predominant land use type by a large margin. Housing Tenure FIGURE 3-13 shows that in 2010, approximately 62 percent of St. Anthony’s inhabited housing units were owner-occupied. The housing tenure landscape of St. Anthony shifted slightly in the decade from 2000 to 2010. During that decade, the amount of renter-occupied housing increased by 243 units, while there were overall losses in owner-occupied housing units and gains in vacant housing units. Overall, the total stock of housing units increased by nearly 300 units from 2000 to 2010 and shifted away from owner-occupied housing. Estimates from 2014 show the trend toward rentership increasing.
