Pleasanton Comprehensive Development Impact Fee Nexus Study October 2024 <br />29 <br />Metropolitan Division (MD) which includes Pleasanton.5 For example, EPS <br />evaluated the occupation categories within the lodging industry to determine the <br />proportional distribution of occupations for the land use category “Lodging.” Using <br />JobsEQ, the NAICS sector 721000 (“Accommodation”) for Oakland-Fremont- <br />Berkeley MD shows that 7.9 percent of the jobs in the Lodging industry <br />nationwide are filled by managers, while 30.04 percent are in the category of <br />buildings and grounds cleaning and maintenance (see Table E-4). The <br />occupational distribution for all designated employment categories is provided in <br />Appendix E. In addition to the distribution by occupation, JobsEQ provided the <br />average wage for each occupation in each land use category. <br />The wages for each occupation were multiplied by 1.79, the average number of <br />workers per working household in the city.6 While certainly there will be some <br />variation in wages per employee within a household, in the absence of more <br />specific data, this analysis assumes comparable levels of education and training <br />and thus hourly earnings among all workers in a household.7 <br />Each occupation is placed into its income category and the distribution is <br />calculated based on JobsEQ’s reported percent of each industry’s jobs that is in <br />the income category. This sorting uses HCD’s income classifications for a 3-person <br />household because there are 3.4 people per working household in the City of <br />Pleasanton. For consistency, the affordability gap calculation averages the <br />respective affordability gaps of a two-person household multifamily rental unit <br />and a four-person household townhome. The unit values used in this calculation <br />are consistent with the unit values calculated as part of the Affordable Housing In- <br />Lieu Fee Study in Chapter 7. <br />Household Formation <br />After calculating the estimated number of new employees (see Table 5 for density <br />assumptions) generated for each land use category, EPS estimated the number of <br />households represented by these new employees (detailed in Appendix Table F-1). To <br />calculate new households, EPS first adjusted the number of workers expected to form <br />new households, accounting for those workers who are typically too young (aged 16 to <br />19) to form their own households. <br />8 The resulting adjusted estimate of new workers was <br />5 The Oakland-Fremont-Berkeley Metropolitan Division (MD) is comprised of Alameda and Contra Costa <br />Counties. <br />6 From the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. <br />7 This assumption is consistent with “Assortative Mating” theory. See National Bureau of Economic <br />Research, “Marry Your Like: Assortative Mating and Income Inequality.” <br />8 Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicate this age cohort represents about 2.0 percent of the <br />overall workforce. This proportion was applied to all industries except Commercial, which represents retail <br />and food service industries, where the younger worker cohort represents 7.7 percent of the overall <br />industry employment. <br />Page 325 of 658
