Who lives in Congdon Park, Duluth, Minnesota
Part of the Congdon Park neighborhood guide. Back to the full guide.
Congdon skews toward established households. The two visible groups are families with school-age children, drawn by the elementary school and the park, and long-tenured owners who bought decades ago and have stayed. Ownership rates run high relative to the city as a whole, and rental housing is a small share of the stock, concentrated on the western edge closer to the university corridor.
Household sizes tend to be larger than the Duluth average, which follows from the housing: these are three and four bedroom houses on family-sized lots, and there is very little studio or one-bedroom inventory. Turnover is slow, so the neighborhood has a long institutional memory and an active community club.
Educational attainment in the surrounding area is high, and a meaningful share of working residents commute to the medical, university, and professional employers concentrated between downtown and the College of St. Scholastica.
