As <br />homes get older, there is a greater need for maintenance, repair, and/or replacement of key <br />infrastructure systems. If not properly addressed, an aging housing stock can represent poorer <br />living standards, incur more expensive repair costs and, under certain conditions, lower overall <br />property values. <br />Production has not kept up with housing demand for several decades in the Bay Area, as the total <br />number of units built and available has not yet come close to meeting the population and job <br />growth experienced throughout the region. In Pleasanton, the largest proportion of the housing <br />stock was built between 1980 to 1999, with 12,569 units constructed during this period (see <br />Figure A-38), which is approximately 41.5 percent of housing units. The housing stock in <br />Alameda County is older than that of Pleasanton, with the largest proportion of units built <br />1960 to 1979. Of the Alameda County housing stock, 39.2 percent was built before 1960; <br />only 6.2 percent of Pleasanton’s housing stock was built before 1960. Since 2010, 5.8 percent <br />of Pleasanton’s current housing stock was built, which is 1,742 units. Only 3.2 percent of <br />Alameda County housing units were built in 2010 or later. <br />
