<br /> Consolidated Plan SAN LEANDRO 39 <br />OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) <br />MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion <br />Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? <br />(include a definition of "concentration") <br />According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Community Planning and <br />Development, CPD Mapping tool there are 21 Census Tracts in the City of San Leandro. Contained within <br />those Census Tracts are 69 Census Blockgroups. Of those Blockgroups, there are 31 that, under the <br />Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program definition, are Low-Mod Census Blockgroups. <br />The CDBG program defines Low-Mod Census Blockgroups as tract where more than 50% of residents <br />earn 80% or less of the median family income (for a family of 4 this is $112,000). There are a total of 429 <br />Low-Mod Census Blockgroups in Alameda County as a whole. The Census Tracts that contain Low-Mod <br />Census Blockgroups are as follows: <br />• 4093.00 <br />• 4322.00 <br />• 4324.00 <br />• 4326.00 <br />• 4331.03 <br />• 4331.04 <br />• 4332.00 <br />• 4338.00 <br />HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) defines the four main “housing problems” as <br />being 1) overcrowded housing conditions (with more than one person per room), 2) cost burden (paying <br />more than 30% of income toward housing costs, including utilities), 3) housing that lacks complete <br />plumbing facilities, and 4) housing that lacks complete kitchen facilities. Additionally, HUD defines <br />“severe housing problems” as being 1) severely overcrowded housing conditions (with more than one <br />and a half persons per room), 2) severely cost burdened (paying more than 50% of income toward <br />housing costs, including utilities), 3) housing that lacks complete plumbing facilities, and 4) housing that <br />lacks complete kitchen facilities. <br />According to the CHAS based on American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates for 2011-2015 San <br />Leandro has approximately 31,360 households. Of those households, there are approximately 55.5% <br />homeowners and 45.5% renters. Another common housing problem for households in San Leandro is <br />the percent of gross income paid toward housing costs. According to CHAS data 38% of all San Leandro <br />households are “cost burdened” paying more than 30% of their gross income on housing and 18% of <br />households “severely cost burdened” paying more than 50% of their gross income on housing. Renter <br />households have significantly higher cost burden at 48% of households and severe cost burden at 23% of <br />households. Most all of the Census Tracts with Low-Mod Blockgroups are where households with <br />“housing problems” and “severe housing problems” are concentrated. <br />277
