WORKING DRAFT FOR HCD REVIEW NEEDS ASSESSMENT 3-9 SAN LEANDRO HOUSING ELEMENT In 2010, 91 percent of San Leandro’s owner-occupant households lived in single family homes, with most of the remainder living in mobile homes. By contrast, most renters lived in buildings of 5 units or larger. More than 90 percent of the multi-family housing units in the city are occupied by renters—the supply of owner-occupied condominiums, co-ops, and other owner-occupied multi-family units is quite small. Table 3-5 indicates tenure by unit type as of 2000.

As the city’s population has become more diverse, its housing needs have become more complex. The most compelling change is the increasing number of foreign-born households in the city—from 17 percent in 1990 to an estimated 35 percent in 2012. The trends suggest a growing need for housing services for non-English speaking households, as well as housing types which recognize the needs of specific immigrant groups (such as extended families).
