Program 7.4 Appendix A - Housing Needs Assessment: The Housing Needs Assessment establishes the foundation for understanding Pleasanton's housing needs. It analyzes a range of demographic, economic, and housing-related variables that help define the extent and context of the city's housing-related needs. As illustrated in Figure 1 below from Appendix A, the needs assessment includes an analysis of the city's population, special needs groups, employment, housing stock, and housing affordability. Information in this section provides a basis from which to build housing goals, policies, and programs to address those needs.
