to include households with handicapped individuals. 1 s percentage corresponds to the ratio of handicapped,households to elderly households that was indicated in the 1976 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, All Minority Households, Black Households and Spanish American Households - The number of renter-occupied households in each of these categories was calculated using the same methodology and sources that were utilized to calculate owner-occupied households in each of these sub-categories (see Footnote #1 above). The only difference was that data for rental households was utilized, rather than data for owner households. 3Data supplied by constituent jurisdictions. 4The general method used t~ develop these estimates was to extrapolate from the experience of the past three years and from data in the 1970 U.S. Census. The first step was to determine the number of new firms which either located or underwent expansion in each of the areas. This information was found in Alameda County New Industries Committee publications, Board of Equalization publications and Alameda County Planning Department data. From the same sources, the number of new employees for each additional firm or expansion was obtained. In the cases where employment information was not available, estimates were made based on square footage, investment, and sales information. The total number of additional employees was then multiplied times the percent of families in 1970 with incomes below $9,500. The result is the estimateJ number of additional low income workers in each community expected in thq following three years. To derive the number of low income households, the 1970 county-wide ratio of workers to households, 1.1, was divided into the number of workers. 5A total figure for the number of lower-income households already employed in the Urban County, based on 1970 Census data, was obtained from the HUD Area Office (1261 households). These households were allocated to the constituent juris- dictions based on the percentage of the employed residents of the Urban County who resided in each jurisdiction according to the 1970 Census of Population. These percentages are listed below: Total Urban County 100% Albany 6.7% Emeryville 1.6% Livermore 14.1% Newark 9.8% Pleasanton 6.8% Union City 5.5% Unincorporated County 55.5%
