Housing Needs Assessment City of Pleasanton | A-35 <br />Figure A-24: Poverty Status by Race <br /> <br />Notes: <br />Universe: Population for whom poverty status is determined <br />The Census Bureau uses a federally defined poverty threshold that remains constant throughout the country and does not correspond <br />to Area Median Income. For this table, the Census Bureau does not disaggregate racial groups by Hispanic/Latinx ethnicity. However, <br />data for the White racial group is also reported for White householders who are not Hispanic/Latinx. Since residents who identify as <br />White and Hispanic/Latinx may have very different experiences within the housing market and the economy from those who identify <br />as White and non-Hispanic/Latinx, data for multiple White sub-groups are reported here. The racial/ethnic groups reported in this table <br />are not all mutually exclusive. Therefore, the data should not be summed as the sum exceeds the population for whom poverty status <br />is determined for this jurisdiction. However, all groups labelled “Hispanic and Non-Hispanic” are mutually exclusive, and the sum of <br />the data for these groups is equivalent to the population for whom poverty status is determined. <br />Source: ABAG 2021 Pre-certified Housing Needs Data (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year <br />Data (2015-2019), Table B17001(A-I)) <br /> <br />Foreign-born residents of Pleasanton are currently slightly more likely to experience poverty <br />than those born with U.S. nationality, but the difference is small. <br /> <br />Table A-10: Poverty Status by U.S. Nationality at Birth <br /> Native Non-native <br />% of Population Below Poverty Level 4.25% 4.46% <br />Source: ACS 5-year estimates (2019), B06012 <br /> <br />Farmworkers <br />Across the state, housing for farmworkers has been recognized as an important and unique <br />concern. Farmworkers generally receive wages that are considerably lower than other jobs and <br />may have temporary housing needs. Finding decent and affordable housing can be challenging, <br />particularly in the current housing market. <br />In Pleasanton, there were no reported students of migrant workers in the 2019-2020 school year. <br />The trend for the region for the past few years has been a decline of 2.4 percent in the number of <br />18.9% <br />10.1%9.0% <br />3.9%3.5%3.2% <br />0.0% <br />2.0% <br />4.0% <br />6.0% <br />8.0% <br />10.0% <br />12.0% <br />14.0% <br />16.0% <br />18.0% <br />20.0% <br />Black or <br />African <br />American <br />(Hispanic and <br />Non-Hispanic) <br />Other Race or <br />Multiple Races <br />(Hispanic and <br />Non-Hispanic) <br />Hispanic or <br />Latinx <br />White <br />(Hispanic and <br />Non-Hispanic) <br />White, Non- <br />Hispanic <br />Asian / API <br />(Hispanic and <br />Non-Hispanic) <br />American <br />Indian or <br />Alaska Native <br />(Hispanic and <br />Non-Hispanic)Percent of Households in Racial / Ethnic Group
