The source data is provided at the census block level. <br />These are crosswalked to jurisdictions and summarized. <br />Source: ABAG 2021 Pre -certified Housing Needs Data (U.S. Census Bureau, Longitudinal Employer -Household <br />Dynamics, Workplace Area Characteristics (WAC) files, 2002-2018) <br />There are 40,332 employed residents, and 59,950 jobs' in Pleasanton - the ratio of jobs to <br />resident workers is 1.49; Pleasanton is a net importer of workers. Overall, only eight percent of <br />people employed in Pleasanton also live in the city. <br />Figure A-7 shows the balance when comparing jobs to workers, broken down by different wage <br />groups, offering additional insight into local dynamics. A community may offer employment for <br />relatively low-income workers but have relatively few housing options for those workers - or <br />conversely, it may house residents who are low wage workers but offer few employment <br />opportunities for them. Such relationships may cast extra light on potentially pent-up demand for <br />housing in particular price categories. A relative surplus of jobs relative to residents in a given <br />wage category suggests the need to import those workers, while conversely, surpluses of workers <br />in a wage group relative to jobs means the community will export those workers to other <br />jurisdictions. Such flows are not inherently bad, though over time, sub -regional imbalances may <br />appear. Pleasanton has more jobs than employed residents at all wage levels (see Figure A-7)2. <br />Employed residents in a jurisdiction is counted by place of residence (they may work elsewhere) while jobs in a <br />jurisdiction are counted by place of work (they may live elsewhere). The jobs may differ from those reported in Figure <br />A-6 as the source for the time series is from administrative data, while the cross-sectional data is from a survey. <br />2 The source table is top -coded at $75,000, precluding more fine grained analysis at the higher end of the wage <br />spectrum. <br />A-10 1 City of Pleasanton Housing Needs Assessment <br />
