MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: SUB.CT: DATE: City Manager Director of Community Development 199o Census Repons September 28, 1992 I have attached three repons about the 1990 Census. Juvenile population by race, educational attainment and household income. There is no city information about juvenile population by race, so we cannot draw any conclusions about Maplewood. the suburbs, the racial mix of juveniles has been stable. The educational report shows that, compared to other cities in Ramsey County, Maplewood has a high percentage of residents who have no college experience. This percentage may decrease as the number of new, higher-income homes increases. Maplewood's median income is slightly higher than the County average and slightly lower than the suburban average in the County. The reason for the difference is that St. Patti lowers the County median income. Ramsey County had the lowest median household income in the metro region. go\b-3:census.mem (4.8 Demographics) attachments: Census reports CC: Planning Commission City Council Planners JUVENILE POPULATION BY RACE Table of Contents Highlights ..................................... 1 Total Population by Race ....................... 2 Population by Race Data ........................ 3 White Population ............................... 4 African American Population .................... 5 Asian American Population ...................... 6 Native American Population ..................... 7 Other Race Population .......................... 8 Population by Race Data, City and Suburb ....... 9 I I I I eldoecl ~o spLresnOLLL O) ~) ~ 0 0 0 eldoecl lo spLresnoLLL 0 · Z = eldoad ;o spaJpunH CXl Cl') C) ' ~ eldoed ~o spe~punH 0 O~ 0 0 0 HIGHLIGHTS This iS the second in a series of reports on the 1990 Census for Ramsey County. They are being distributed by the'Ramsey County Data Networking Committee. Each report will Concentrate on a specific topic, such as juvenile population by race or educational attainment.

An aging housing stock with more than 30% of the housing units over 30 years old. Less demand for starter homes due to changing demo- graphics. There are fewer people in the age group, 19 to 29 years typical first time home buyers. These communities are asking themselves several important questions. What can we do to encour- age homeowners to remain in the com- munity and remodel their home to meet their needs rather than move to another community? How can we help home- owners with advice and assistance to make the remodeling process more 'user - ~riendly"? Policymakers know that in Jrder to maintain a high level of home ownership in suburban neighborhoods it is necessary to find ways to encourage people to reinvest in these neighborhoods. The Affordable suburban Apartment Partnership has been working with staff, and community leaders in several subur- ban communities to design programs that will encourage homeowners to remodel, and provide them with ideas and advice. In Richfield Minnesota, A.S.A.P. was involved in helping the community with the first annual Remodeling Fair "The Street of Possibilities' held in February 1992. This was a very successful Saturday event with approximately 3500 people in atten- dance in addition to the 60 home improvement exhibits, there were work- shops on various remodeling topics, food, entertainment, and door prizes. Plans are now under way for the 1993 "Streets of Possibilities' (Richfield Remodeling Fair.) The affordable Suburban Apartment Partnership was the program coordinator for a series of remodeling workshops in Bichfield entitled "Richfield Remodeling 'orkshops. Ideas and Advice. A practi- cal guide to remodeling."

A.S.A.P. worked with a group of profeeslonais in the remodeling field, who volunteered to lead the workshops. In Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, A.S.A.P. is working with the City Council, City Staff, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Earle Brown Neighborhood Housing Advisory Committee to design and implement a Home Remodeling Program, end a Homeowners Association. Since financing is an important aspect of any remodeling project, A.S.A.P. is designing a loan program for suburban communities. Important aspects of the loan program include: (1) advice for homeowners from A.S.A.P. staff (2) reasonable interest rate, and flexible term (3) no income limits (4) simplified application (5) short- ened approval process. Local banks will be involved in making the loans. Call for Nominations: MnAPA Officers The MnAPA Nominating Committee is seeking nominations for the four officer seats on the nine member Board.
