<br />Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing City of Pleasanton | F-25 <br />the average percentage of total white population for all census tracts in a given council of <br />governments (COG) region. <br />Census tracts with an LQ of more than 1.25 and a median income 1.5 times higher than the COG <br />area median income (AMI), or 1.5 times the state AMI whichever is lower, were assigned a numeric <br />score of 1 indicating “Is a RCAA”. Census tracts that did not meet this criterion were assigned a <br />score of 0 indicating “Not a RCAA”. Census tracts with a total population of less than 75 people, in <br />which the census tract was also largely contained within a non-urbanized area such as a park, <br />open space, or airport, were not identified as RCAAs. <br />As shown in Figure F-12, nine census tracts in Pleasanton are designated as RCAAs using the <br />above methodology. All of the RCAA areas are located east of I-680 and encompass many of <br />Pleasanton’s residential neighborhoods. Residential neighborhoods not within RCAAs are those <br />west of I-680 and those west of the East Pleasanton Specific Plan area. Additionally, census tracts <br />not identified as RCAAs contain the Hacienda business park, Stoneridge Mall, downtown, and <br />Bernal corporate and office park areas. Two of the RCAA census tracts extend beyond City limits <br />to the east (Livermore) and south. These two tracts are located between Stanley Boulevard and <br />Vineyard Avenue and between Highway 84 and I-680. Areas adjacent to the city to the east are <br />also designated as RCAAs. Various programs promote housing throughout the Pleasanton, <br />including in RCAA areas, such as Programs 1.8 and 1.9 (accessory dwelling units), Program 2.8 <br />(Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers), and Program 2.12 (Pleasanton Down Payment Assistance <br />Loan Program). <br />
