F-42 | City of Pleasanton Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing <br />Table F-9: Substandard Housing Rates (2019) <br /> Pleasanton Alameda County <br />Substandard Housing Units Percentage Percentage <br />Lacking complete plumbing facilities 44 0.2% 0.4% <br />Lacking complete kitchen facilities 204 0.7% 1.0% <br />Source: ACS 2019 5-Year Estimates, Table DP04 <br /> <br />The age of housing stock can also be an indicator of substandard housing. As homes get older, <br />there is a greater need for maintenance and repair. If not properly addressed, an aging housing <br />stock can result in poorer living standards, incur more expensive repair costs and, under certain <br />conditions, lower overall property values. In Pleasanton, the largest proportion of the housing stock <br />was built between 1980 to 1999, with 12,569 units constructed during this period, which is <br />approximately 41.5 percent of housing units. The Housing Needs Assessment has additional <br />information on housing stock age and condition. <br />Displacement Risk <br />HCD uses a data set supplied by the University of California Berkeley’s Urban Displacement <br />Project (UDP) as a part of its AFFH geospatial data. This data is used to identify sensitive <br />communities that are at-risk of displacement. UDP defines sensitive communities as currently <br />having “populations vulnerable to displacement in the event of increased redevelopment and <br />drastic shifts in housing cost.” Vulnerability was determined based on the following characteristics: <br /> The share of very low-income residents is above 20 percent; <br />AND <br /> The tract meets two of the following criteria: <br />o Share of renters is above 40 percent <br />o Share of people of color is above 50 percent <br />o Share of very low-income households that are severely rent burdened households <br />is above the county median <br />o Percent change in rent is above county median rent increase <br />o Rent gap, which is the difference between tract median rent and median rent for <br />surrounding areas <br /> <br />The UDP from HCD data is presented in Figure F-24. This analysis identified vulnerable <br />communities in one census tract within the city, which includes the area around the downtown. <br />This tract has a higher population of residents with disabilities and has a higher concentration of <br />LMI households. As shown in other data, this area also contains a higher proportion of relatively <br />affordable rental housing. Anecdotally, at the fair housing outreach events, staff had several <br />conversations with individuals currently residing in neighboring communities that at one time lived <br />in Pleasanton, but reported having moved because they could no longer afford to live in the city. <br />This theme also appeared in the open-ended responses in the survey as well.
