Census Data
Census data are in, and we are learning how Roseville has changed and how we have stayed the same.
- Roseville’s population dropped by 30 people even though the number of housing units increased
- The city is more ethnically diverse, and
- Our household and family sizes have generally stayed the same
Lifetime Housing Options
The City Council and staff have been studying the census data. The data show an increase in total housing units and an increase in vacant housing. Roseville is ahead of the curve in preparing for the aging of our population, encouraging lifetime housing options and encouraging new families to move into the community. Recently the Urban Landscape Institute gave the Council and others a presentation Navigating the New Normal which you can view via webstreaming.
