A-22 | City of Pleasanton Housing Needs Assessment <br />Figure A-15: Overcrowding by Race <br /> <br />Notes: <br />Universe: Occupied housing units <br />The Census Bureau defines an overcrowded unit as one occupied by 1.01 persons or more per room (excluding bathrooms and <br />kitchens), and units with more than 1.5 persons per room are considered severely overcrowded. For this table, the Census Bureau <br />does not disaggregate racial groups by Hispanic/Latinx ethnicity. However, data for the White racial group is also reported for White <br />householders who are not Hispanic/Latinx. Since residents who identify as White and Hispanic/Latinx may have very different <br />experiences within the housing market and the economy from those who identify as White and non- Hispanic/Latinx, data for <br />multiple White sub-groups are reported here. <br />The racial/ethnic groups reported in this table are not all mutually exclusive. Therefore, the data should not be summed as the sum <br />exceeds the total number of occupied housing units for this jurisdiction. However, all groups labelled “Hispanic and Non-Hispanic” <br />are mutually exclusive, and the sum of the data for these groups is equivalent to the total number of 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 B25014) <br />A.3.3 Household Income <br />Household income is a critical component of housing affordability.
