Housing Needs Assessment City of Pleasanton | A-27 Eight percent of all households in Pleasanton, or 2,291 households, are considered large households (those that contain five or more members). Therefore, the housing mix in Pleasanton is considered adequate to accommodate larger household sizes. However, given that almost six percent of large households are also lower income, there may be a need to ensure that larger (three or more bedroom) affordable housing units are available for these households. This Housing Element includes Policy 2.1, which in part supports use of the Lower-Income Housing Fund for housing developments proposed by non-profit developers that include a high proportion of affordable units suitable to accommodate a variety of household types and sizes, including units with more than two bedrooms suitable for large families. Program 2.1 includes implementing a target mix of units through the inclusionary ordinance or objective design standards, such as requiring a proportion of larger (three or more bedroom) lower-income units. Senior Households Senior households often experience a combination of factors that can make accessing or keeping affordable housing a challenge. They frequently live on fixed incomes and are more likely to have disabilities, chronic health conditions, and/or reduced mobility. There are 1,035 extremely low- income senior households in Pleasanton (make no more than 30 percent of AMI). Seniors who rent may be at even greater risk for housing challenges than those who own, due to income differences between these groups. The largest proportion of senior households who rent make no more than 30 percent of AMI, while the largest proportion of senior households who are homeowners falls in the income group Greater than 100 percent of AMI (see Figure A-20). Figure A-20: Senior Households by Income and Tenure Notes: Universe: Senior households For the purposes of this graph, senior households are those with a householder who is aged 62 or older. Income groups are based on HUD calculations for Area Median Income (AMI). HUD calculates the AMI for different metropolitan areas, and the nine county Bay Area includes the following metropolitan areas: Napa Metro Area (Napa County), Oakland-Fremont Metro Area (Alameda and Contra Costa Counties), San Francisco Metro Area (Marin, San Francisco, and San Mateo Counties), San Jose- Sunnyvale-Santa Clara Metro Area (Santa Clara County), Santa Rosa Metro Area (Sonoma County), and Vallejo-Fairfield Metro Area (Solano County). The AMI levels in this chart are based on the HUD metro area where this jurisdiction is located. 47% 67%64%79%91% 53% 33%36%21%9% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% 0%-30% of AMI 31%-50% of AMI 51%-80% of AMI 81%-100% of AMI Greater than 100% of AMIPercent of HouseholdsOwner Occupied Renter Occupied
