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 /> 2013. Data for 2000 is from the U.S. Census and 2013 data is from American Community <br /> Survey. <br /> • The dominant housing type in Elk River is the single-family detached home, representing <br /> about 73%of all housing units as estimated in 2013. <br /> • There are only about an estimated 840 total housing units located in buildings of more than <br /> 10 units, or about 11%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 37, vacant units increased to 5% in 2010. ACS data <br /> 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 /> 2013* <br /> 450 <br /> --Z.- — <br /> 400 -1,... m <br /> a <br /> 350 m — DOwner Occupied -. <br /> to ■Renter Occupied <br /> 300 - m I■vacant <br /> U <br /> 250 <br /> VI <br /> c 200 - , <br /> 0 <br /> 3 <br /> = 150 _ <br /> 100 - 5.
