<br />City of Ramsey <br />MASTER HOUSING PLAN <br /> <br />------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <br /> <br />PART TWO - Housing Demand: <br />Age: <br /> <br />The age structure of the population of Ramsey and surrounding areas will have an important impact <br />on housing type, style, and price points that current and future residents will demand. It is important <br />to examine the age distribution of current Ramsey residents because they will also affect demand <br />for certain types of housing as their age and family composition changes. Figure 6 below shows the <br />age of Ramsey residents, aggregated to exanline "life cycle" categories. This chart shows that all <br />age groups have gained population from 1990 to 2000. The categories of Children, Middle Adults, <br />and Older Adults have shown the largest increases. The Senior and Young Adult categories <br />increased only incrementally. The chmt indicates that the largest categories had the highest <br />percentage gains. The Older Adult category more than doubled in population from 1990 to 2000. <br />This trend will continue as the Baby Boomers move into the 45 to 64 age category over the next 20 <br />years. <br /> <br />Figure 6: Ramsey Residents within Life Cycles (Number) <br /> <br />7,DDD <br /> <br />6,DDD <br /> <br />5,DDD <br /> <br />4,DDD <br /> <br />3,DDD <br /> <br />2,DDD <br /> <br />1,DDD <br /> <br />Ramsey Residents by Age <br /> <br />D. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />(' '.~' <br />1.....1'...1' <br />," ..1 <br />.,,;" ~ <br /> <br />'1'P :J <br /> <br />Children <br />o to 17 <br /> <br />Young Adults <br />18 to 24 <br /> <br />Middle Adults <br />25 to 44 <br /> <br />Older Adults <br />45-64 <br /> <br />Seniors <br />65+ <br /> <br />Source: 2000 US Census Data (aggregated) <br /> <br />February 2008 <br /> <br />City of Ramsey Master Housing Plan <br /> <br />Page 12 <br />
