FOOTNOTES FOR TABLE II OF THE 1977-78 ALAMEDA ~OUNTY URBAN COUIITY HOUSING ASSISTANCE PLAN FOR THE SIX CONSTITUENT CITIES lOwner Occupied Housing Needs Total Owner-Occupied Housing Needs - The total number of lower-income households residing in homes which they own themselves who are in need of housing assistance was assumed to be equal to the number of owner-occupant households with incomes below $5,000 in 1970 dollars. This number was obtained from the printout of the Fourth Count of the 1970 Census of Housing, Tabulation #117. The 1970 Census figures (based on 1969 household incomes) were updated to January 1976 by assuming that the percentages of owner units that were characterized by low incomes in 1970 are the same as the percentage of owner units that were characterized by low incomes in 1976. Large Families (5 or more persons), Elderly and Handicapped, and Small families (4 or less persons) - The percentage of owner households in each city with incomes below $5,000 that consisted of 5 persons or more was obtained from the 1970 Census (Fourth Count Printout, Tabulation #117). The percentage of owQ~r households in each city with incomes below $5,000 that were husband-wife families with a head over the age of 65 was also obtained from the 1970 Census (Fourth Count Printout, Tabulation #110). These percentages were multiplied by the total owner needs figure for each city (Row A, Column b-1 in Table II) in order to estimate the numbers of large family and elderly households in each city. The elderly figure was increase~ by 40.5% in order to include families with handicapped individuals. This percentage corresponds to the ratio of handicapped households to elderly households that was indicated in the 1970 Special Census for Unincorporated Alameda County. Those households in need who were not large families or elderly or handicapped were classified as small families (4 or less persons). Female Headed Households - The percentage of owner occupied households in each city that was characterized by a female head was calculated with data from the 1970 Census (Fourth Count Printout, Tabulation #38). These percentages were applied to the total owner needs figure, and the elderly plus disabled, large family, and small family owner needs figures from each city in order to compute owner female head of household needs figures. All Minority Households - The percentage of owner households in each city with inCOmes below the poverty level in 1969 who were identified as non-white households in the 1970 Census (Tabulation #96 from the printout of the Fourth Count of the Census of Housing) was multiplied by the total number of owner households in need in that city in order to estimate the number of minority owner households in need. The percentage for each city was also applied to the owner sub-categories. Those Spanish-American households who were considered to be white were not included in this minority households category, but they ~re included in the Spanish-American household category (see below). Black Household - The percentage of owner households in each city with incomes below the poverty level in 1969 who were identified as black households in t~e 1970 Census (Tabulation #96 from the printout of the Fourth Count of the Census of Housing) was multiplied by the total number of owner households in need in that city in order to estimate the number of black owner household in need. The percentage for each city was also applied to the owner sub-catego~';es.
