A-50 | City of Pleasanton Housing Needs Assessment <br /> <br />Figure A-35: Housing Tenure by Housing Type <br /> <br />Notes: <br />Universe: Occupied housing units <br />Source: ABAG 2021 Pre-certified Housing Needs Data (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year <br />Data (2015-2019), Table B25032) <br /> <br />Homeownership rates often vary considerably across race/ethnicity in the Bay Area and <br />throughout the country. These disparities not only reflect differences in income and wealth but <br />also stem from federal, state, and local policies that limited access to homeownership for <br />communities of color while facilitating homebuying for White residents. While many of these <br />policies, such as redlining, have been formally disbanded, the impacts of race-based policy are <br />still evident across Bay Area communities. In Pleasanton, 26.5 percent of Black households <br />owned their homes, while homeownership rates were 72.1 percent for Asian households, 48.0 <br />percent for Latinx households, and 71.2 percent for White households. Notably, recent changes <br />to state law require local jurisdictions to examine these dynamics and other fair housing issues <br />when updating their Housing Elements. Please see Appendix F (Affirmatively Furthering Fair <br />Housing) for an analysis of fair housing issues. <br />88%72% <br />13% <br />98%100% <br />12%28% <br />87% <br />0% <br />20% <br />40% <br />60% <br />80% <br />100% <br />Detached Single- <br />Family Homes <br />Attached Single- <br />Family Homes <br />Multi-Family <br />Housing <br />Mobile Homes Boat, RV, Van, or <br />OtherPercent of HouseholdsOwner Occupied Renter Occupied
