Data Notes

General:

You are welcome to use this data and these graphics for your data needs. Please be sure to cite the original

data source noted on the graph as well as the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, and provide a link

back to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco’s data tab: http://www.frbsf.org/community-

development/data/ Please contact us with any questions about citations.

Please see source notations for the year and time horizon of the data shown. We have used available 3-

year estimate data (representing 2013) or 5-year estimate data (representing 2012) from the American

Community Survey for the selected sub-county geographies, as more recent data is only available for larger

geographies. Please note that the most recent ACS zip code data available is for 2012. Data sources other

than ACS used in the graphs are noted as applicable.

The geographies shown in the graphs are intended to show a selected sample of the cities, towns, and zip

codes within the county and do not include all geographies for that county.

Please assume all percentages shown in the graphs are percentages of the total population, households, or

housing units of that geography, depending on the indicator. Exceptions are noted.

Please contact Gabriella Chiarenza if you have questions about the data or graphs, or if you need assistance

locating similar data for other geographies.

Housing:

“Affordable rent” is defined as no more than 30% of income.

Median home values and rents shown are for September 2014.

HUD data on subsidized housing includes all units funded in part by any of the following programs: public

housing, Housing Choice Vouchers, moderate rehabilitation, project-based Section 8, Section 236

preservation, other federal multifamily housing funds, and/or the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program.
