METHODOLOGY

Priority Housing Needs Table

In determining Priority Housing Needs, the following methods were used:

  1. Take the figures from the Renter Burden and Homeowner Burden tables derived from CACI Marketing Systems 1999 estimates and 1990 Census data (see Homeownership and Rental Housing sections of Housing Needs chapter).

  1. From the elderly population figures and population estimates, derive figures for the "All Other" category, which includes one-person non-elderly households and other non-family, non-elderly households. This is done as follows:

54,004

Single person HH's (p. 15 of Appendix B)

6,923

HH's with unrelated individuals (p. 15 of Appendix B)

60,927

Total non-family HH's

36,556

Since 15% of City population is 65+, assume they make up 60% of non-family HH's

24,371

So, 30% of non-family HH's are "All Other"

14,622

Of that, assume 60% are renters

10,967

Of those 14,000, assume 75% are above 80% of the median area income

3,656

That leaves about 3600 low/mod "All Other" households

Distribute those out at same percentages into each group as the elderly

  1. Determine whether to use the figures for 30% Burden or for Physical Defects to determine the overall needs. If the figures for 30% Burden are used, then landlords would simply receive payment for housing, without necessarily being required to improve the physical condition of substandard housing. Thus we chose to use the "Adequate Housing Method," in which the Physical Defects figures are used to estimate the priority need units.

  1. Determine the median cost to make a substandard housing unit into a standard, habitable and adequate housing unit. This is an extremely elusive figure. For these purposes, a spreadsheet listing of housing rehabilitation developments completed with CDA financial support from 1994 to 1998 was used. The median figures resulting were $59,761 per unit for rental rehabilitation developments, and $120,032 per unit for for-sale rehabilitation developments. This represent the total development cost (TDC) per unit, not the CDA funding amount.

  1. Multiply the estimated units figure (the number of housing units with physical defects), by the median total development cost per unit in a CDA-funded housing development. For rental units, the rental rehab cost figure is used; for for-sale units, the for-sale rehab cost figure is used. All dollar figures are rounded.

The St. Louis Fire Department will receive $44 million within the next five years from the Proposition One bond issue. This will provide for renovation of all fire department facilities and purchase of new equipment.

The St. Louis Public Library's Proposition L bond issue was approved in 1994. This provides $45 million in funding for capital improvements. About ½ of these funds have already been expended.

The St. Louis Public Schools receive desegregation settlement and bond issue funds that will allow over $155 million in capital improvements over the next five years. The improvements are summarized as follows:

Planned investments in Forest Park for the period 1994 to 2004 total approximately $80 million, of which about $40 million have already been expended.

The capital needs of recreation centers are quite varied, but according to a study conducted in 1995 by Sverdrup, $21.54 million is required to upgrade all the existing City recreation centers.

For new recreation facilities, costs may vary widely. A recent feasibility study conducted by Parsons Brinckerhoff for the City of Des Peres, MO estimated costs of $3.5 million for a new swimming pool complex, and $3.75 million for a new recreation center. The residents of the City of St. Louis should expect the same high-quality facilities afforded to residents of suburban communities, so this figure is not necessarily excessive.
