Housing Needs Assessment City of Pleasanton | A-49 <br />A.4.2 Housing Tenure <br />The number of residents who own their homes compared to those who rent their homes can help <br />identify the level of housing insecurity – ability for individuals to stay in their homes – in a city and <br />region. Generally, renters may be displaced more quickly if prices increase. In Pleasanton there <br />are a total of 29,011 housing units, and fewer residents rent than own their homes (30.1 percent <br />versus 69.9 percent) (see Figure A-34). By comparison, 46.5 percent of households in Alameda <br />County are renters, while 44 percent of Bay Area households rent their homes. <br />Figure A-34: Housing Tenure <br /> <br />Notes: <br />Universe: Occupied housing units <br />Source: ABAG 2021 Pre-certified Housing Needs Data (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year <br />Data (2015-2019), Table B25003) <br /> <br />In many cities, homeownership rates for households in single-family homes are substantially <br />higher than the rates for households in multi-family housing.
