Northeast sits north of the Minneapolis population centre and lands close to the middle of the city on most measures. The owners' estimate of $342,000 is 6% under the city's, while rent of $1,480 runs 8% above it, fourth-highest of ten. Owner households narrowly outnumber renters, at 53.5%. Much of the housing is old: 81.1% of it was built before 1980, and the typical building dates from 1943. University next door values homes higher, at $401,000, with owners at only 16.9%. Near North lies lower, at $258,000. Camden has owners at 76.6%, a far more owner-heavy picture than Northeast, where tenure sits closer to an even split. Payotte arrived at this estimate from 13 tracts. The sector has 37,794 residents and 19,286 homes, and its 9,579 owning households sit close to the 8,312 renting ones. Taken together, the figures describe a sector that mirrors the city's middle ground rather than either extreme.
