Cities of Dublin and Pleasanton | Disaster Debris Management Plan | 2022 3 1.3.2.1 Population, Demographics and Physical Characteristics The following information was retrieved from the U.S. Census Bureau and the 2018 Tri-Valley Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. The hazard mitigation plan provides a complete community profile including population, demographics, and physical characteristics. An abridged version is provided here for the context of the DDMP. City of Dublin The City of Dublin occupies 14.91 square miles. The U.S. Census Bureau 2020 population estimate for the City was approximately 72,589 people. According to the 2019 American Community Survey 45.2% of the population of the City speak a language other than English at home with 11% of that percentage indicating they speak English less than very well. This means that public information regarding set-out procedures and the safe handling of debris will need to be accessible in multiple formats. During disasters, populations with functional and access needs and socio-economic barriers often have less access to resources and support. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 9.1% of the population of the City, or about 6,606 people, are at or over the age of 65, and 4.0% of the population is living below the poverty level. Debris managers must be cognizant of how disaster debris can further impact individuals with disabilities and access and functional needs. Section 3.3.7 of this plan provides a more detailed description of best practices during debris operations to support this population.
