<br /> <br />Association of Realtors reported that the median price of a home in the City was <br />$184,500. By January 2001, the median price for a three bedroom two bath house <br />had soared to $340,000. Although this is still lower than the Alameda County <br />median, the percentage increase in San Leandro during this two year period was <br />among the highest in the County. Roughly 60 percent of the dwellings in San <br />Leandro are occupied by owners and about 40 percent are occupied by renters. <br />The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) projects that the Bay Area’s <br />population will increase by nearly one million residents over the next 15 years. <br />While much of this growth will take place in outlying cities and towns, the region’s <br />older suburbs are also expected to absorb a substantial share. ABAG’s Projections <br />2000 forecasts that San Leandro will add over 1,500 new households between 2000 <br />and 2015. The General Plan accommodates this growth, primarily through infill and <br />redevelopment of underutilized parcels. <br /> <br />4.3 ASSETS <br />After a disaster, community vitality is dependent upon people, buildings, and utility and <br />transportation infrastructure. Each of these assets contributes unique benefits to the <br />community, and each has specific vulnerabilities to disasters. Without this understanding <br />of the asset’s role, there is no basis to understand what damage means for the community. <br />
