i <br />I HOUSING JUNE, 1980 <br />I <br />I <br />SUMMARY OF EXTSTlNG -HOUSING SYlATlSTICS <br />The following sections provide a brief summary of the housing types, <br />occupancy tenure, structural condition and price range of housing in <br />Orono. More detailed information on each subject is provided in the <br />CMP Appendix. <br />I <br />HOUSING TYPES <br />3 <br />SINGLE FAMILY UNITS <br />MULTI-FAMILY UNITS <br />2,356 <br />74 <br />97% <br />3% <br />, % <br />TOTAL NUMBER OF DWELLINGS 2,430 : 1,450 urban; 980 rural <br />By far, f^e’ predominant housing type in Orono is single-family detached <br />dwellings. This is true of both the urban and the rural areas of the <br />City. The number of multi-family structures has remained small with <br />most of these units located in the Navarre Area. The small amount of <br />multi-family development is traceable to a lack of undeveloped urban <br />land, to a lack of available transportation or significant shopping <br />facilities, and to the availability of numerous apartments in nearby <br />Mound, Spring Park, Wayzata and Excelsior. <br />HOUSING TENURE <br />I <br />3 <br />t <br />I <br />OWNER OCCUPIED 1,920 79% <br />RENTER OCCUPIED 316 13% <br />SEASONAL OR VACANT 194 8% <br />TOTAL NUMBER OF DWELLINGS 2,430 <br />A comparison between housing types and housing tenure reveals that a <br />relatively large number of single family dwellings are rental units <br />and that the total number of rental properties far exceeds the number <br />of multiple family dwelling units. The high percentage of seasonal <br />units reflects the lake-cottage heritage. While many old cottages have <br />been converted to rental or year-round dwellings in the past, there <br />remain a significant number of cottages on the islands which will likely <br />not be converted in the future. <br />I CMP 5-7
