Housing Needs Assessment City of Pleasanton | A-29 <br />Figure A-21: Household Type <br /> <br />Notes: <br />For data from the Census Bureau, a “family household” is a household where two or more people are related by birth, marriage, or <br />adoption. “Non-family households” are households of one person living alone, as well as households where none of the people are <br />related to each other. <br />Source: ABAG 2021 Pre-certified Housing Needs Data (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year <br />Data (2015-2019), Table B11001) <br /> <br />Female-headed households with children may face particular housing challenges, with pervasive <br />gender inequality resulting in lower wages for women. Moreover, the added need for childcare <br />can make finding a home that is affordable more challenging. <br />In Pleasanton, 16.6 percent of female-headed households with children fall below the Federal <br />Poverty Line, while 11.0 percent of female-headed households without children live in poverty. <br />7%11%10%3% <br />5%5% <br />69%51%51% <br />3% <br />9%9% <br />18%24%25% <br />0.0% <br />10.0% <br />20.0% <br />30.0% <br />40.0% <br />50.0% <br />60.0% <br />70.0% <br />80.0% <br />90.0% <br />100.0% <br />Pleasanton Alameda County Bay Area <br />Pe <br />r <br />c <br />e <br />n <br />t <br /> <br />o <br />f <br /> <br />H <br />o <br />u <br />s <br />e <br />h <br />o <br />l <br />d <br />s <br />Female-Headed Family Households Male-headed Family Households <br />Married-couple Family Households Other Non-Family Households <br />Single-person Households
