Housing Needs Assessment City of Pleasanton | A-15 <br />Dublin (4.6 percent), San Ramon (4.4 percent), or Fremont (4.2 percent). Workers also commute <br />from San Francisco, Oakland, Hayward, and Tracy 6. <br />If there are more jobs than employed residents, it means a city is relatively jobs-rich, typically also <br />with a high jobs-to-household ratio. The jobs-household ratio in Pleasanton has decreased from <br />2.86 jobs per household in 2002, to 2.6 jobs per household in 2018 (see Figure A-9)7 . <br />Pleasanton’s jobs-household ratio is higher than both Alameda County and the region, suggesting <br />the city has a higher concentration of jobs relative to the rest of the Bay Area. <br />Figure A-9: Jobs-Household Ratio <br /> <br />Notes: <br />Universe: Jobs in a jurisdiction from unemployment insurance-covered employment (private, state and local government) plus <br />United States Office of Personnel Management-sourced Federal employment; households in a jurisdiction <br />The data is tabulated by place of work, regardless of where a worker lives. The source data is provided at the census block level. <br />These are crosswalked to jurisdictions and summarized. The ratio compares place of work wage and salary jobs with households, <br />or occupied housing units. A similar measure is the ratio of jobs to housing units. However, this jobs-household ratio serves to <br />compare the number of jobs in a jurisdiction to the number of housing units that are actually occupied. The difference between a <br />jurisdiction’s jobs-housing ratio and jobs-household ratio will be most pronounced in jurisdictions with high vacancy rates, a high <br />rate of units used for seasonal use, or a high rate of units used as short-term rentals. <br />Source: ABAG 2021 Pre-certified Housing Needs Data (U.S. Census Bureau, Longitudinal Employer-Household <br />Dynamics, Workplace Area Characteristics (WAC) files (Jobs), 2002-2018; California Department of Finance, E-5 <br />(Households)) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />6 Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD), OnTheMap, 2018. <br />7 The ratio of jobs to housing has tracked with the overall number of jobs in the city, being at its lowest during the Great <br />Recession, and rising over more recent years, although still reflecting an improved balance since 2002. <br />1.00 <br />1.20 <br />1.40 <br />1.60 <br />1.80 <br />2.00 <br />2.20 <br />2.40 <br />2.60 <br />2.80 <br />3.00 <br />2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018Ratio <br />Pleasanton Alameda County Bay Area
