Spanish-Ame, ican Hou .~olds - The percentage of ownel ~useholds in each city with incomes below the poverty level in 1969 who were identified as Spanish-American households. in the 1970 Census (Tabulation #96 from the print- out 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 determine the number of Spanish-American owner households in need. The percentage for each city was also applied to the owner sub-categories. -. 2Total Renter-Occupled Housing Needs - The total number of lower-income renter households who are in need of housing assistance was determined by matching renter households, disaggregated by income and size, to the existing rental housing stock, disaggregated by gross rent and number of bedrooms. Data on total renter households by income and size was obtained from the print- out of the Fourth Count of the 1970 Census of Housing, Tabulation #117. It was adjusted to include Qnly cash renters by obtaining the number of cash renters in each income bracket from Tabulation #127, and assuming that the percentage of households of each household size in each income bracket was the same among cash renters as it was among total renders. Data on total existing rental housing stock by gross rent and number of bedrooms was obtained from TabUlation #130 from the same Census printout. Data on the number of rental units lacking plumbing facilities, obtained from Tabulation #123, was subtracted from the total existing rental housing stock figures, in order to determine the number of standard rental units. The number of households and housing units in each category were updated to January, 1976 based on the percentage increase in the total housing stock between April, 1970 and January, 1976. For the cities of Albany and Emeryville, this percentage increase was based on the number of building permits approved between these dates. For the four other cities, all of which conducted Special Censuses, the percentage increase was developed using the increase in housing units after April, 1970 indicated by each city's Special Census, and the number of building permits approved by each city between its Special Census and January, 1976. The following percentage increases were developed for each of the six cities using this methodology.
