This report is part of a larger collaborative between the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) and the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs (CURA) that addresses regional disparities in an effort to inform community development and revitalization efforts in the Twin Cities. This report looks specifically at the Building Sustainable Communities (BSC) study area found in North Minneapolis. With a focus on employment and economic development, it addresses a series of indicators of economic health and household capacity in an attempt to illuminate discrepancies at multiple scales of analysis. Data on North Minneapolis is compared against standards at the city and regional scale in an attempt to provide a place-based assessment of current development.
NORTH MINNEAPOLIS STUDY AREA
The study area used in this assessment utilized as a foundation the Building
Sustainable Communities boundaries and determined a selection of best-�t census
tracts from these boundaries. The map to the right provides
a visual of how these two areas correspond to one another

DEMOGRAPHICS
Data found in later sections of this report will use modi�ed versions of the demographic population categories found here. Due to its small sample size, values for the ‘Hawaiian/Paci�c Islander ’category will not be shown, while values for the ‘American Indian’ category will occasionally be omitted. Additionally, due to de�nitional heterogeniety, the ‘Other’ and ‘Two or More Races’ categories will also not be shown. Finally, the Hispanic population and the Non-Hispanic White populations will be supplemented to provide metrics with a greater capacity to impact policy decisions.
Data for the report comes from the Decennial Census and American Community Survey estimates

TABLE OF POVERTY RATE BY RACEnumber of individuals below the poverty line and the percentage of the population below the poverty line
The table above provides metrics on the number of people who would need to move out of poverty in order to match the White (Non-Hispanic) poverty rate for both the City and the Metropolitan Region. These values provide insight into areas of emphasis as seen by racialgroup
The table above provides metrics on the percentage of individuals below poverty for each race that North Minneapolis accounts for in the City’s population below poverty. This value is compared to the overall population by race that North Minneapolis accounts for in the City’s population to provide statistics on the relative concentration of poverty in North Minneapolis by racial group.
• Poverty in North Minneapolis is distributed unevenly by race. While the White (Non-Hispanic) poverty rate is 15.1%, all other racial categories face rates at least 25 percentage points higher.
• The Poverty Rate also follows a pattern of spatial concentration in North Minneapolis. The Poverty Rate for North Minneapolis is significantly higher (36%) than the rate for the City (21.7%) or the Metropolitan Area (10.5%).
• This disparity is further pronounced when examining spatial variations by race.
For example, the African American poverty rate in North Minneapolis (42.0%) is 35.8% higher than the White (Non-Hispanic) poverty rate in the Metropolitan Area as a whole.

The table above provides metrics on the percentage of unemployed individuals for each race that North Minneapolis accounts for in the City’s unemployed population. This value is compared to the overall population by race that North Minneapolis accounts for in the City’s population to provide statistics on the relative concentration of unemployment in North Minneapolis by racial group.
The table above provides metrics on the number of people who would need toprocure employment in order to match the White (Non-Hispanic) employmentrate for both the City and the Metropolitan Region. These values provide insightinto areas of emphasis by racial group
• Racial disparities in unemployment exist in North Minneapolis. While the White (Non-Hispanic) and Hispanic unemployment rates are relatively low (10.5% and 13.6% respectively), the African American and Asian unemployment rates roughly double these
rates (28.9% and 20.9% respectively)
• The unemployment rate in North Minneapolis (21.1%) is higher than both the City (9.5%) and the Metropolitan Region (7.3%) as a whole. This unequal spatial distribution of employment is further exacerbated when accounting for racial categories.

Data for the Total, White (Non-Hispanic), African American, Asian, and Hispanic populations in North Minneapolis are provided, as well as the White (Non-Hispanic) rate for the City and Metropolitan Region as comparison metrics.

TABLE OF INCOME CATEGORIES
Data on income categories divides up employees in the region into three categories based on their monthly income.The categories roughly equate to annual incomes of below $15,000, $15,000 to $40,000, and ablove $40,000. Data
comes from LEHD Origin-Destination Employment Statistics. As seen above, the income distribution in NorthMinneapolis di�ers greatly from that seen at the City and Regional levels, with a majority of those employed holding
jobs in the middle-income range compared to a more positively skewed distribution at the larger geographies.Furthermore, North Minneapolis has a higher percentage of employed peoples in the lowest income category, with
27.4% of its employed population making less than $15,000 annually, compared to 19.7% and 18.6% for the Cityand Metropolitan Region respectively.

The Labor Force Participation Rate is measured as percentage of the civilian population over 16 thatis either employed or unemployed but actively seeking employment. The participation rate is a toolused to measure the market supply of labor in a particular region, indicating the potential for economic growth. Furthermore, it is used in order to develop statistics which take into accountdiscouraged job seekers and others with limitations preventing their participation in the workforce.

• The number of renters who are cost-burdened in North Minneapolis is significantly higher than the number of cost-burdened owners both with a mortgage (12.2%) and without (44.8%)
• Geographically, for all tenure statuses, North Minneapolis has a consistently higher percentage of cost-burdened households than the City or the Region
• The high levels of discrepancy by tenure status indicate a necessity to focus targeted policy particularly toward renters
• The higher percentage of cost-burdened households in North Minneapolis indiates a reduced capacity for household resiliency, stability, and security. In particular, the lack of resiliency limits neighborhood-level community investment. Tackling this issue will require a significant investment, as seen in the figure to the right
