1 NORTH MINNEAPOLIS: INTRODUCTION This report is part of a larger collaborative between the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) and the Center for Urban and al Affairs (CURA) that addresses regional disparities in an effort to inform community development and revitalization efforts in the Twin Cities. This report looks specifically at the Building Sustainable Communities (BSC) study area found in. With a focus on employment and economic development, it addresses a series of indicators of economic health and household capacity in an attempt to illuminate discrepancies at multiple scales of analysis. Data on is compared against standards at the city and regional scale in an attempt to provide a place-based assessment of current development. NORTH MINNEAPOLIS STUDY AREA DEMOGRAPHICS White Black/ Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Other Two or More Races White Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Other Two or More Races Population 42, , % 21, % % 5, % 18.1% 1, % 2, Data found in later sections of this report will use modified versions of the demographic population categories found here. Due to its small sample size, values for the Hawaiian/Pacific Islander category will not be shown, while values for the category will occasionally be omitted. Additionally, due to definitional heterogeniety, the Other and Two or More Races categories will also not be shown. Finally, the population and the Non- White populations will be supplemented to provide metrics with a greater capacity to impact policy decisions. TWIN CITIES POVERTY RATE BY CENSUS TRACT The study area used in this assessment utilized as a foundation the Building Sustainable Communities boundaries and determined a selection of best-fit census tracts from these boundaries. The map to the right provides a visual of how these two areas correspond to one another Data for the report comes from the Decennial Census and American Community Survey estimates

While the White (Non-) poverty rate is 15.1%, all other racial categories face rates at least 25 percentage points higher. The Poverty also follows a pattern of spatial concentration in. The Poverty for is significantly higher (36%) than the rate for the City (21.7%) or the Area (1.5%). This disparity is further pronounced when examining spatial variations by race. For example, the poverty rate in (42.) is 35.8% higher than the White (Non-) poverty rate in the Area as a whole.

While the White (Non) and unemployment rates are relatively low (1.5% and 13.6% respectively), the and unemployment rates roughly double these rates (28.9% and 2.9% respectively) The unemployment rate in (21.1%) is higher than both the City (9.5%) and the (7.3%) as a whole. This unequal spatial distribution of employment is further exacerbated when accounting for racial categories.

For example, the median White (Non-) income is at least $15, higher than that of any other racial group. The median household income is also consistently lower in than city levels for all categories except s and s. While median household income has steadily increased between 2 and 212 for the City (21.6% increase) and Area (28.7% increase), income levels have stayed relatively constant for (3% increase) GRAPH OF MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME BY RACE OVER TIME comparison of trends for years 2, 29, and 212 More than $3,333 per month TABLE OF INCOME CATEGORIES $1,25 per month or less $1,251 to $3,333 per month More than $3,333 per month 27.4% 44.1% 28.5% 19.7% 34.7% 45.6% 18.6% 3.9% 5.5% Data on income categories divides up employees in the region into three categories based on their monthly income. The categories roughly equate to annual incomes of below $15,, $15, to $4,, and ablove $4,. Data comes from LEHD Origin-Destination Employment Statistics. As seen above, the income distribution in differs greatly from that seen at the City and al levels, with a majority of those employed holding jobs in the middle-income range compared to a more positively skewed distribution at the larger geographies. Furthermore, has a higher percentage of employed peoples in the lowest income category, with 27.4% of its employed population making less than $15, annually, compared to 19.7% and 18.6% for the City and respectively.

5 NORTH MINNEAPOLIS: LABOR FORCE PARTICIPATION The Labor Force is measured as percentage of the civilian population over 16 that is either employed or unemployed but actively seeking employment. The participation rate is a tool used to measure the market supply of labor in a particular region, indicating the potential for economic growth. Furthermore, it is used in order to develop statistics which take into account discouraged job seekers and others with limitations preventing their participation in the workforce.

This measure evolved from housing discourse in the National Housing Act of 1937 and pre- mid-199 federal mortgage loan policies, and is currently used as an indicator of the impact and restrictions of housing costs on a household s standard of living. of Housing Units of CostBurdened Households age of CostBurdened Households ,683 62, ,393 3, , ,594 24, % % 13.5% 83,3 64,566 18, ,25 23, % 49.4% 37.1% The Current age of who are CostBurdened in is: 64.5% The Current age of who are CostBurdened in is: 52.3% The Current age of who are CostBurdened in the City of is: 49.4% The Current age of who are CostBurdened in the is: 32.3% Reducing the Cost-Burden to Match the City's Cost-Burden rate will Require This Many to Move out of CostBurden Status: 1,99 Reducing the Cost-Burden to Match the 's Cost-Burden rate will Require This Many to Move out of CostBurden Status: 1,86 8 The number of renters who are cost-burdened in is significantly higher than the number of costburdened owners both with a mortgage (12.2%) and without (44.8%) Geographically, for all tenure statuses, has a consistently higher percentage of cost-burdened households than the City or the The high levels of discrepancy by tenure status indicate a necessity to focus targeted policy particularly toward renters The higher percentage of cost-burdened households in indiates a reduced capacity for household resiliency, stability, and security. In particular, the lack of resiliency limits neighborhood-level community investment. Tackling this issue will require a significant investment, as seen in the figure to the right GRAPH OF COST-BURDENED HOUSEHOLDS OVER TIME (RENTERS) 1,99 1,21 Owner 825 1,86 88 The table to the right displays the number of households that would need to move out of costburdened status to match the White (Non-) rate for and the, divided up as renters, owners with a mortgage, and owners without a mortgage. Between 2 and 29, faced a 14.1% increase in households at cost-burdened status for renters and 22.4% increase for owners with a mortgage. Neither category has been able to reduce this rate to 2 levels. While the percentage of households that are cost-burdened in has been consistently higher than levels seen at the City or al level, there has been a minimal increase in this gap between 2 and 212 for both renters and owners with a mortgage GRAPH OF COST-BURDENED HOUSEHOLDS OVER TIME (OWNERS) TABLE OF NORTH MINNEAPOLIS HOMEOWNERSHIP RATE White (Non-) Owner Renter % % % % % %
