MA -50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") The most common housing problem for low- to moderate -income households in San Leandro is cost burden with 45.3% of all San Leandro households paying more than 30% of their income on housing in 2012, according to the American Community Survey for 2008-2012. "Overpaying" Renters (51.6%) are more heavily impacted "overpaying" homeowners (40.7%). Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") There are several methods recognized by HUD for defining areas of minority concentration. One method defines areas of minority concentration as Census tracts where more than 50 percent of the population is comprised of a single ethnic or racial group. San Leandro is one of the most diverse cities in Alameda County with no one ethnic group constituting a majority. Though, San Leandro has one (1) census tract (4334) with Asian Non -Hispanic concentration. The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program defines a low income concentration as any block group where more than 50% of residents earn 80% of MFI or less. Under this definition, there are twenty-two (22) low income block groups in San Leandro compared to 126 in the Alameda County Consortium cities as whole. There appears to be an overlap among low income concentration and minority concentration in block groups 1 and 6 in census tract 4334. What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? The market characteristics in these neighborhoods are in many ways similar to the market characteristics of the City as a whole. There is a large mobile home community in this area. Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? There are community assets in this area, including a community center, parks, and other public facilities. Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? The strategic opportunities in these areas align with the strategies of the Consolidated Plan as a whole.
