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