WORKING DRAFT FOR HCD REVIEW <br />NEEDS ASSESSMENT 3-4 SAN LEANDRO HOUSING ELEMENT <br />Chart 3-1: San Leandro Household Type, 2010 <br /> <br /> <br />Householders living <br />alone <br />27% <br />Nonfamily <br />households <br />6% <br />Married, with <br />children under 18 <br />23% <br />Married, no children <br />under 18 <br />23% <br />Single with children <br />under 18 <br />8% <br />Single with no <br />children under 18 <br />7%Other <br />families <br />6% <br /> <br /> <br />Household Size <br /> <br />In 2014, average household size in San Leandro is estimated to be 2.83. 1 This is a substantial increase <br />from 2000, when the Census reported average household size in the city to be 2.57. It is also an increase <br />from 2010, when the Census determined that average household size was 2.74. Increasing household size <br />has been the primary variable driving population increases in the city over the last decade. This trend is <br />not unique to San Leandro. Every city in Alameda County has seen increases in household size over the <br />last four years, with the Countywide average increasing from 2.70 to 2.78. <br /> <br />Household size over the last 50 years is displayed in Table 3-2. The increase in household size since <br />2000 continues a trend that began in the 1980s. In 1990, average household size was 2.33. At that time, <br />average household size in the County as a whole was 2.59. By 2010, the city’s average was larger than <br />the County’s. The increase is at least partially a result of more multi-generational households, larger <br />numbers of children, and adult children living at home longer due to the high cost of housing in the Bay <br />Area. <br /> <br />1 The 2.83 figure is based on California Department of Finance data for January 1, 2014 . <br />Source: US Census, 2010
