The eight counties in the study area host a large number of second homes (30% of all housing units across all eight counties are seasonal). Seasonal residents impact local communities through their spending and involvement. The extent to which they carry out plans to move permanently to their second homes will have significant impact on future development.enSecond homeseasonal residentcentral Minnesotawest central MinnesotaDemographicsseasonal resident spendingcommunity attachmentPresentation
