New Web Resource on Long Term Trends--Challenges to Families Predate Current Crisis
(released August 2, 2010)
Often lost in the focus on the latest unemployment report or foreclosure rates are the longer-term trends that underlie the challenges to families trying to build wealth or secure their assets. Minnesota Data Trends provides that long-term view, with easily accessible data on a number of key measures. The trends show Minnesotans have faced challenges for years. The site includes data sources, brief summaries of the trends, and contact information for further details. Click here to see all the full announcement.

MHP Releases 2010 County Profiles
(released July 20, 2010)
MHP’s County Profiles pull together housing data specific to each of Minnesota’s 87 counties—including changes in home prices, rental costs, foreclosures, homelessness, and unemployment. The housing profiles also examine housing affordability for five occupations. These profiles paint a picture of chronic housing need: in a great many areas, certain occupations typically cannot afford the costs of either renting or owning a home.
