(1985 Planning District II estimate was 5 ,500. ) <br /> These estimates can be partially substantiated by analyzing <br /> the age composition of the Village. The 1970 Census indicates <br /> that Hugo is comprised of a very young population . (Approximately47% <br /> of the population is younger than 18 years of age . ) The <br /> elderly , 65 years and over , constitute but 5% of the total <br /> population , which is another indication of the future produc- <br /> tivity <br /> roduc- <br /> tivity potential of the population. <br /> D. HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS <br /> A great deal can be said about a community byjust anal zinY analyzing <br /> its housing , since residential is the largest single land use . <br /> Information pertaining to housing type , value , condition and the <br /> presence of mobile homes can assist tremendously in pinpointing <br /> the residential personality of a community. <br /> The Hugo land use survey indicates the following housing <br /> composition as of September , 1972 : <br /> Type of Housing Quantity Percentaje <br /> Single Family Residential 568 70 .3% <br /> Single Family Farm Residential 111 13 . 6% <br /> Multiple Family 18 02 . 2% <br /> Mobile Home 111 13 . 6% <br /> Vacant Farm Residential 3 00. 3% <br /> Total 811 100 .0% <br /> 6 <br />
