Housing
Residents of the Black Hills are slightly more likely to own their own home than Americans in general. But within the Hills, homeownership rates vary a great deal from county to county. Butte County had a 77.2 percent rate of homeownership in 2009 compared to Lawrence County’s 62.9 percent rate. In Shannon County, only 48.9 percent of households own their own home. Check out this interactive chart to see a county by county comparison of home ownership rates.
The housing stock in the Black Hills is predominately more than 10 years old. In Shannon and Fall River Counties in 2009 only 4.1 percent and 6.6 percent respectively of the housing stock had been built since 2000. In Pennington County, 13.5 percent of housing was younger than the century itself.
Community Development Block Grant Program
The Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) provides annual grants to cities to develop decent housing and living environments, with a focus on low- and moderate-income persons. Rapid City had been a beneficiary since the program's creation in 1975.
Rapid City was required to create a five year plan covering FY 2013-2017. An executive summary is available, as well as the FY 2013 Action Plan.
