Nokomis is the most owner-heavy sector in Minneapolis: 85.2% of households own, far ahead of the 47.7% for the city. South of the population centre, it pairs that with high rent, since renters pay a median $1,550, second-highest anywhere in the city and level with Southwest. Owners put homes at $382,000, fourth of ten. Old buildings dominate, with pre-1980 housing at 87.8%, third-highest in the city. Longfellow, a neighbour, has owners at 57.8%, and Powderhorn has them at 38.9%. Southwest, farther along, values homes much higher, at $506,000, so Nokomis sits in the middle of a steep gradient between lower-value and higher-value ground. Behind it lie 10 census tracts and 36,388 residents. Owning households number 13,242 against only 2,304 renting, among 16,425 housing units. Put differently, Nokomis combines almost the highest rent in the city with an owner share nobody else reaches, and a stock that is older than most.
