PAGE 32 Figure 20. Historic and Projected Trends in Number of People Who Are Hispanic Sources: US Census Bureau; US Census Bureau ACS 5-year Livermore, CA Pleasanton, CA Dublin, CA Nu m b e r o f H i s p a n i c P e o p l e 2020. In fact, the proportion of Asians who are non- Hispanic in the Tri-Valley region doubled between 2010 and 2020. Asians accounted for 34% of the total population in 2020, compared to 17% of the total population in 2010. At the regional (Tri-Valley) level, the proportion of all other racial groups declined during this period. The category of Asians who are non-Hispanic captures many different nationalities and ethnic groups (Table 10). Approximately 26% of the over 142,000 Indian Americans who live in Alameda County reside in the Tri-Valley. Over half of these individuals (17,857) live in Dublin, where they account for more than 25% of the municipality’s total population. The Tri-Valley’s population is 15% Hispanic, a substantially lower proportion than in the state (40%) and Alameda County (22%) (Table 9). As seen in Figure 19, the largest Hispanic population in the Tri-Valley (by both proportion and count) is located in Livermore, where Hispanics account for 23% of the total population (an increase from 2010, when they represented 21% of Livermore’s total population). Although the total number of Hispanics living in the Tri-Valley has increased since 2010, proportionally the group has slightly decreased (15% in 2021 compared to 16% in 2010). Its proportional share is predicted to increase in the next 5 to 7 years (Figure 20). Taken together, these data demonstrate that the overall population increase in the Tri-Valley in the last decade was mostly driven by: 1) a dramatic increase in the number of Asian (non-Hispanic) individuals living in the region, particularly in Dublin and Pleasanton; and 2) a slight increase in the number of Hispanic individuals living in the region, particularly in Livermore and Dublin. In the coming years, the Tri-Valley is projected to continue to grow, become less white, more Asian and Hispanic, and—except for Dublin—older. Economic Stability By many measures, as seen in Table 11, the Tri-Valley has a relatively high level of economic stability, partic- ularly as compared to the state and county. Table 12 references the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), a measure used to determine eligibility for various government programs and benefits. For example, to be eligible for Medi-Cal adults must be at up to 138% FPL, while Medi-Cal for children is up to 266% FPL. EASTERN ALAMEDA COUNTY HUMAN SERVICES NEEDS ASSESSMENTSS Page 90 of 554
