Population growth in Mankato has been strong and new housing development has been well-received in the market. We anticipate that growth in Mankato could exceed our projected growth over the long-term depending on the ability to place a variety of new housing products into the market and provided employment remains strong.
Demographically, most of the growth in Mankato and the Market area is within the older adult cohorts (led by Baby Boomers) and from older Millennials and GenXs in their 40's and early 50's. Many of these householders desire alternate housing products that while offered in the market, a greater variety of housing options need to be available to satisfy a broader range of income and market segments.
