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.enDemographicsElderlyGeographic Information Systems (GIS)Longfellow NeighborhoodMapsMinneapolis Neighborhood Information System (MNIS)Neighborhood OrganizationsReport
