Service Description: Developing the right fit between available housing types and the income level of residents is an important part of regional planning and development.
This report examines patterns of jobs and housing in the Bay Area, using a low-wage jobs to affordable housing ratio calculated from publicly available data sources.
This analysis shows clearly that there is a substantial shortage of affordable housing in relation to the number of low-wage jobs in many of the suburban areas of the Bay Area region, most strikingly in the East Bay Suburbs, along the San Francisco Peninsula, and in southern Alameda County.
This imbalance in jobs and housing is of concern not only for those low-wage workers who face challenges in finding affordable home and apartments near work, but is of concern for the region as a whole since it makes it more difficult to reduce overall vehicle miles travelled (VMT) in the region and potentially contributes to an excess fiscal burden on those jurisdictions with higher proportions of affordable apartments and houses.
