  • City of Duluth 2016 Housing Indicator Report
    City of Duluth 2016 Housing Indicator Report Prepared by: Released: June 2018 Community Planning Division City Hall Room 208 Duluth, MN 55802 http://www.duluthmn.gov/community-planning/ Executive Summary Purpose The Community Planning Division publishes the Housing Indicator Report annually to provide a snapshot of the current housing markets and to understand how those markets have changed over time. We include demographic and workforce statistics to provide context about what kinds of housing options are available and affordable to a diverse range of our community members. Key Findings Average and median home sale price have gradually increased over the past decade and while homeowners’ median household income seems to have stagnated in the past few years, average homeownership costs still appear to be affordable to middle income homeowners. From 2014 to 2015 the average market rent increased drastically by almost $100 a month and while it continued to increase in 2016 to $920, it was a less drastic increase than in the previous year. Average market rate rental housing has not been affordable to the majority of renter households for at least a decade and that trend continues in 2016. This year we focused on some of the systemic issues that contributed to creating the disparities and the wealth gap we see between the higher and lower income neighborhoods in our city. With a better understanding of these disparities and their causes, there can be more informed decisions made about the allocation of services and resources. Examining these historical disparities also provides more context and insight to our housing market.
