FY 2010/11 AAP Chapter 2:Geographic Distribution and Housing Market AnalysisCOMMUNITY PROFILEThe City of Champaign is located in east central Illinois approximately 135 miles south of Chicago and 80miles northeast of Springfield, the state capital. Its adjoining twin city, Urbana, is the county seat.Champaign-Urbana is the home of the University of Illinois. Parkland Community College is also locatedin Champaign.The 2000 Census listed Champaign's population at 67,518, comprising 38% of the total county populationof 179,669. The Bureau of the Census estimates the City’s 2002 population to be 69,443. According toCensus figures the City's population grew by 6% between 1990 and 2000. This growth was due toannexation of adjacent land parcels, growth of the University of Illinois, and in-migration. A specialCensus was completed recently to include a large area of annexed land and its corresponding populationinto the total for Champaign. The 2007 Special Census estimates the current population of Champaign at75,200.Students comprise approximately 32% of the City’s population. This large number of students has asignificant impact on the housing market, particularly the rental housing market. The willingness ofstudents to share living quarters and pay inflated rents for short periods of time tightens the rentalmarket and has the effect of raising rents citywide.According to the 1990 Census, 73% of Champaign’s citizens are white, 16% are black, 7% are Asian, and4% are Hispanic. The median age in 2000 was 24, reflecting the presence of the University of Illinoisstudent population, and 8% of the population was over the age of 65.In 2000, the City’s median household income was $32,795 and the median family income was $52,628.The number of families living below the poverty level in 2000 was 1,021, or 8.2% of the population.NEIGHBORHOOD WELLNESS PLANNING AREASThe City’s Neighborhood Wellness Plan update process was conducted concurrently with the preparationof the 2005-2009 Consolidated Plan. The Wellness Plan assesses the physical and social conditions ofeach of the City’s neighborhoods. Data is collected andanalyzed in the following areas: housing conditions, realestate market trends, property maintenance, population anddemographic characteristics, civic involvement, householdeconomic conditions, infrastructure, and public safety. Thisdata collection and analysis process was completed in the fallof 2004. Because this neighborhood data forms the basis formuch of the needs analysis portion of the Consolidated Plan,the Annual Action Plan frequently refers to planning areas.The City is divided into 25 planning areas, as shown here. Acomparison between planning areas and low/moderateincomeCensus Tracts is provided below. A full page versionof this map is also provided in Appendix B.HOUSING MARKET SUMMARYThere are 28,556 housing units in the City of Champaign.This is up 10% from 1990. The City’s current vacancy rate is5%, which is an acceptable rate according to real estateindustry standards. The University of Illinois significantlyFY 2010/11 Annual Action Plan: Geographic Distribution and Housing Market Analysis 103
impacts the housing market in terms of tenure. Only 47% of the City’s occupied housing units wereowner-occupied in 2000. When the University District (Planning Area 3) is excluded from the housingequation, the owner-occupancy rate rises to 59%. Approximately 51% of the City’s housing units werebuilt before 1970 and most of the oldest housing stock in the City is located within the lowest incomeCensus Tracts.Data collected through the Neighborhood Wellness Plan update process provided critical informationabout the value and condition of the housing stock across the City. In several planning areas, 1, 2, 4, 6,7, 8, 9 and 14, property values were found to be below the citywide median. Properties tended to ratelower on the condition survey in these planning areas than in other parts of the City as signs of age beginto show. Many of these areas also have median incomes below the City’s average. Public investment inthese neighborhoods will be necessary to enable lower-income homeowners to maintain property valuesand to encourage the continued investment of private resources.A full analysis of the Champaign housing market is available in the five-year Consolidated Plan.GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION AND TARGETED AREASWith the release of low/moderate (low/mod) income block group data from the 2000 U.S. Census, theCity redrafted its target neighborhood map. Low/mod areas are defined as areas in which more than50% of the residents have annual incomes at or below 80% of the area median. The low/modneighborhoods as determined by the 2000 Census are depicted in Exhibit 1. Any federally-fundedactivities designated to benefit a low/mod area (LMA) will take place within the area shaded in red.The low/mod areas closely coincide with neighborhoods designated as Restoration and Preservation areasin the Neighborhood Wellness Plan. Several planning areas that were classified as Preservation areas in1992 have now improved to Conservation in the 2003 plan update. However, Planning Areas 1, 2, and 8are still low/mod in their entirety, while the majority of households residing in areas 3, 4, 7, and 9 werealso considered low/mod in the 2000 Census.The supply/demand, age/condition, and cost of the City’s housing stock were all analyzed as part of theNeighborhood Wellness Plan update process. The information for the analysis report was collected byPlanning Area. The City uses these geographic areas as the basis for collecting neighborhood informationand allocating services. Exhibit 1shows the City’s low/moderateneighborhoods (HUD-definedtarget areas) overlayed on theNeighborhood Wellness PlanningAreas. As noted on the map, allof Planning Areas 1, 2, and 8,most of Area 4, and almost theentire residential section ofPlanning Area 7 are consideredlow- and moderate-incomeneighborhoods, by HUD’sdefinition. This means that morethan half of the residents inthese areas have incomes thatare below 80% of the areamedian income. Also, PlanningArea 14, although notlow/moderate income by HUD’sdefinition, has a median incomethat is less than the City’sMattis104 FY 2010/11 Annual Action Plan: Geographic Distribution and Housing Market Analysis
