Housing Data Research A summary of data describing the makeup of residential land use in the St. Anthony Village community. This document represents a summary snapshot of the status of housing and housing value in St. Anthony Village. The data was collected from the Metropolitan Council, the American Community Survey of the US Census Bureau, and other resources including the City’s draft Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of the research is to provide a common set of data as the community examines current and future housing development and redevelopment proposals, in the context of the City’s Comprehensive Plan goals and objectives. Some of the data points vary for the same category of data since depending on the source, it was collected during different years, primarily between 2015 and 2017. Summary of the data: • St. Anthony Village has approximately 4,300 residential units, based on the most recent housing estimates. • The community has more than half of its housing stock in attached units, with just 48.5% of all units as single family detached. • St. Anthony has a greater percentage of housing in higher-density buildings than its neighbors, a similar level of medium density (townhouses and twinhomes, typically), and the lowest percentage of single family detached housing (48.5%). • In the metro area by comparison, nearly two-thirds of all housing is single family detached. • In St. Anthony, there is just an 8% spread between the number of single family homes and multi-family homes, whereas the neighboring communities, and the metro as a whole, show differentials of 24% to 44% for this disparity. • With regard to what is known as “housing tenure”, St. Anthony Village has the highest proportion of rental-occupied units of its near neighbors, at nearly 40% of the current housing stock. This is almost 10% greater than the cumulative Twin Cities rate of about 30%. • A study done for the 2040 Comprehensive Plan showed than 64% of the community’s housing stock falls within ranges that are considered “affordable”, defined as values affordable to those making less than 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI). Slightly more than 25% of the community’s housing is affordable to those making less than 50% of the AMI. • For the metro area, comparative affordability numbers are similar (or slightly lower than St. Anthony) for all categories of affordability: approximately 59% of housing units are affordable to those making below 80% of AMI, and 23% of housing is affordable for those below 50% of AMI. Of its affordable supply, St. Anthony’s proportion of units below the 30% AMI threshold is 15.6% as opposed to 10.8% metro-wide. Page 1
