Camden lies north of Minneapolis's population centre and carries the lowest owners' value estimate of all ten sectors: $235,000, which comes in 35% under the city figure. Households that own their home dominate, at 76.6%, the second-highest share in town and far above the 47.7% recorded for Minneapolis overall. The housing is also the oldest around, since 88.2% of units predate 1980, the top share in the city. Near North, just beside it, puts homes at $258,000. Northeast reaches $342,000 in its estimates, while Central climbs to $369,000. Rent tells a different story from value here: renters pay a median $1,380, only slightly above the $1,371 for the whole city. The estimate rests on 8 census tracts. Out of 31,378 residents and 12,396 housing units, 8,908 households own while 2,727 rent. Put differently, a sector with so many owners and such old housing still shows rents on a par with the rest of Minneapolis.
