Abstract

Description

This project examined the hypothesis that an increase in senior-age populations living in family housing in the Longfellow neighborhood of Minneapolis was making affordable family housing unavailable to new families. A number of maps were created at the block level demonstrating change from 1990 to 2000 in senior-age population, as well as change in the average size of household (as an indirect measure of how many families are living in the area). A map was also created showing the distribution of affordable housing in Longfellow. In the case of the senior-age population change map, the researchers found that Longfellow did not differ significantly from trends throughout Minneapolis, where senior-age population is generally declining at a rapid rate. The findings concerning change in average household size, on the other hand, confirmed the neighborhood's concern that fewer families are living in Longfellow.
