In October 2015, Mayor Garcetti released Executive Directive 13, Support for Affordable Housing (ED 13). ED 13 is a “Back to Basics” operational directive that helps streamline the development of critical new housing developments that address our housing shortage.

This dataset tracks the City's progress towards the goals outlined in the directive: (1) Permitting 100,000 new units from the start of Mayor Garcetti's administration through the end of fiscal year 2021, and (2) Building or preserving 15,000 affordable housing units for low-income households in this same time period.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset presents the median household income across different racial categories in Los Angeles County. It portrays the median household income of the head of household across racial categories (excluding ethnicity) as identified by the Census Bureau. The dataset can be utilized to gain insights into economic disparities and trends and explore the variations in median houshold income for diverse racial categories.

Key observations

Based on our analysis of the distribution of Los Angeles County population by race & ethnicity, the population is predominantly White. This particular racial category constitutes the majority, accounting for 35.43% of the total residents in Los Angeles County. Notably, the median household income for White households is $101,816. Interestingly, despite the White population being the most populous, it is worth noting that Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander households actually reports the highest median household income, with a median income of $107,300. This reveals that, while Whites may be the most numerous in Los Angeles County, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander households experience greater economic prosperity in terms of median household income.

Severe housing burden is defined as spending 50% or more of monthly household income on housing. A small number of households without housing cost or income data were excluded from analyses.Given the high cost of housing in Los Angeles County, many residents spend a sizable portion of their incomes on housing every month. Severe housing burden disproportionately affects low-income individuals, renters, and communities of color. Severe housing burden can negatively impact health by forcing individuals and families into low quality or unsafe housing, by causing significant stress, and by limiting the amount of money people have available to spend on other life necessities, such as food or healthcare. It is also an important risk factor for homelessness.For more information about the Community Health Profiles Data Initiative, please see the initiative homepage.

Housing affordability is a major concern for many Los Angeles County residents. Housing constitutes the single largest monthly expense for most people. Renters are more susceptible than homeowners to high housing costs, especially if they live in a community without rent control or other tenant protection policies. Compared to homeowners, renters are also more likely to experience housing burden or housing instability and have a higher risk for homelessness.For more information about the Community Health Profiles Data Initiative, please see the initiative homepage.

Housing affordability is a major concern for many Los Angeles County residents. Housing constitutes the single largest monthly expense for most people. Among homeowners, their homes are often their largest financial assets. Home ownership can also offer many benefits, including the opportunity to increase financial security and build wealth.For more information about the Community Health Profiles Data Initiative, please see the initiative homepage.

According to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's definition, homelessness includes individuals and families who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. A homeless count provides a "snapshot in time" to quantify the size of the homeless population at a specific point during the year. Regardless of how successful outreach efforts are, an undercount of people experiencing homelessness is possible. Counts includes persons experiencing unsheltered and sheltered homelessness. Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count occurred in the nights of February 22, 23 and 24, 2022. Glendale's count occurred in the morning and evening of February 25, 2022. Long Beach's count occurred in the early morning of February 24, 2022. Pasadena's count occurred in the evening of February 22, 2022 and morning of February 23, 2022. Data not available for Los Angeles City neighborhoods and unincorporated Los Angeles County; LAHSA does not recommend aggregating census tract-level data to calculate numbers for other geographic levels.Housing affordability is a major concern for many Los Angeles County residents. Housing burden can increase the risk for homelessness. Individuals experiencing homelessness experience disproportionately higher rates of certain health conditions, such as tuberculosis, HIV infection, alcohol and drug abuse, and mental illness. Barriers to accessing care and limited access to resources contribute greatly to these observed disparities.For more information about the Community Health Profiles Data Initiative, please see the initiative homepage.

This EnviroAtlas dataset describes the block group population and the percentage of the block group population that has potential views of water bodies. A potential view of water is defined as having a body of water that is greater than 300m2 within 50m of a residential location. The window views are considered "potential" because the procedure does not account for presence or directionality of windows in one's home. The residential locations are defined using the EnviroAtlas Dasymetric (2011/October 2015) map. This dataset was produced by the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact with a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the contiguous United States. The dataset is available as downloadable data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas) or as an EnviroAtlas map service. Additional descriptive information about each attribute in this dataset can be found in its associated EnviroAtlas Fact Sheet (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets).

Esri’s Housing Affordability Index (HAI) measures the financial ability of a typical household to purchase an existing home in an area. A HAI of 100 represents an area that on average has sufficient household income to qualify for a loan on a home valued at the median home price. An index greater than 100 suggests homes are easily afforded by the average area resident. A HAI less than 100 suggests that homes are less affordable. The housing affordability index is not applicable in areas with no households or in predominantly rental markets . Esri’s home value estimates cover owner-occupied homes only.

Los Angeles Index of Displacement PressureThe Los Angeles Index of Displacement Pressure combines measures that past research efforts and our own original research have shown correlate with future change and displacement pressure. Created in 2015/2016, the index primarily uses data from 2012-2015.These seven measures are applied at the Census Tract level for tracts where >=40% of households earn less than the City's median income. The measures are grouped into two classes: change factors and displacement pressure factors.Change factor measures are those that suggest future revitalization is likely due to investment, projected housing price gains, and proximity to recently changed areas. On the other hand, displacement pressure factors capture areas with a high concentration of existing residents who may have difficulty absorbing massive rent increases that often accompany revitalization. The Los Angeles Index of Displacement Pressure captures the intersection between these two classes.Change Measures Transportation InvestmentMeasure 1: Distance to current rail stations (within a 1/2 mile radius.
