Eau Claire: Units Within Structures Hosting Two or More Units

 Eau Claire has many tracts of land with structures housing two or more individuals/families separately. These structures could be duplexes, apartment buildings, or homes that have been divided up into smaller units. One can probably assume that structures with two or more units in them are rental units.
  • As one can see by examining the Units Within Structures of Two or More Units-Whites map, the areas where there are many rental units are concentrated. The numbers below the heading 'units' in the map key indicate the number of individual units between all structures of two or more units. That is to say, 2 units could be part of one structure, while 45 units could be part of a large apartment complex and both of these numbers would be combined to 47 total units.
  • The Student Rental Area is the area with the largest concentration of two or more units per structure. There are 1198 individual units in this area; compare this to zero in the Putnam Heights Area.
  • Please note the difference in units occupied by Asians versus the units occupied by Whites. This is because Whites in the Eau Claire area are by far the majority.
  • Asians mostly occupy the area near Dells Pond and the Chippewa/Eau Claire Rivers confluence.  In this area there are 45 units within structures hosting 2 or more units.  The rest of the population in this area is  inhabited by whites in rental units and single family, detatched homes.
  • As one can infer by examining the map on the right, there are many areas not inhabited by Asians.  There is much more 'white space' on the Units Within Structures of 2 or More Units-Asian.  The white space areas are areas where there are less than 15 units in which Asians live.

 

  • The areas with many units per structure are also low household value areas.  The highest concentration of the Asian population, just south of Dells Pond, is an area where 87 percent of homes are valued between $50,000 up to $199,000. The Student Rental Area is an area with the highest concetration of home valued between $10,000 up to $49,000.  Please check out the map White Housing Values for more information.
