HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS <br /> Housing Units by Structure and Occupancy or (Housing Stock by Structure Type) <br /> Table HC-3 shows the housing stock in Elk River by type of structure and tenure as of 2000 and <br /> 2010. Data for 2000 is from the U.S. Census and 2010 data is from American Community <br /> Survey. <br /> • The dominant housing type in Elk River is the single-family detached home, representing <br /> about 71% of all housing units as estimated in 2010. <br /> • There are only about an estimated 764 total housing units located in buildings of more than <br /> 10 units, or about 10% of the housing stock. <br /> • According to the data, an estimated 2% of the Elk River's housing stock was vacant as of <br /> 2000. As shown in Table HC-4 on Page 39, vacant units has increased to 5% in 2010. ACS <br /> data for units in structure does not account for vacant units. <br /> • It is important to note, however, that the Census' definition of vacant housing units <br /> includes: units that have been rented or sold, but not yet occupied, seasonal housing <br /> (vacation or second homes), housing for migrant workers, and even boarded-up housing. <br /> Thus, the U.S. Census vacancy figures are not always a true indicator of adequate housing <br /> available for new households wishing to move into the area. <br /> Housing Stock By Units In Structure <br /> Elk River <br /> 2010* <br /> 400 - ❑Owner Occupied <br /> 350 - <br /> SI Renter Occupied <br /> 296 •Vacant <br /> 300 - <br /> Y 242 247 <br /> o 250 - — — <br /> 200 - <br /> 160 <br /> 3 134 — <br /> 150 - 126 <br /> x _ — <br /> 100 - 88 <br /> 45 <br /> 50 33 15 13 <br /> 0 -detached at�°hed tO 4 U^,ts 5-W9-9\e <br /> -W 9-9\e to to 19 Un`ts2p to 49°n\ts 50 k ts\\Aob\e h°me <br /> J <br /> MAXFIELD RESEARCH INC. 37 <br />
