Who lives in Lincoln Park, Duluth, Minnesota
Part of the Lincoln Park neighborhood guide. Back to the full guide.
Lincoln Park's household mix is the broadest in this guide, and the price point explains most of it. The neighborhood combines long-tenured owners, many in families that have been here through the whole industrial decline and recovery, with first-time buyers drawn by the entry price, younger renters drawn by the district, and a significant investor-owned share.
Rental tenure runs materially higher here than in the east-side neighborhoods, reflecting both the duplex and conversion stock and the investment activity that follows a revitalizing district. That mix is part of what makes the displacement question a real one.
The neighborhood also has a visible maker and small-business population, people who work in or run the businesses that reshaped the commercial core, which is a genuinely distinctive feature.
Household types span the full range because the housing does, from single-person rentals in converted uppers to families in four-square houses.
