DETERMINING WHERE IS AFFORDABLE SENIOR HOUSING MOST NEEDED WITHIN CALIFORNIA? Affordable Senior Housing By: Luis A. Topete PP M224A Winter 2011 Image Source:

Where We Left Off What is meant by most underserved? In proportion to the other two CCD’s of interest, ESGV has ESGV Totals Density: ,966 Poverty: ,746 Senior AH: Los Angeles Density: 2.6 x 304,029 Poverty: 2.4 x 206,380 Senior AH: 9.5 x 104 San Fernando Valley Density: 2.1 x 249,691 Poverty: 2.0 x 172,773 Senior AH: 4.2 x 46

Reason for Choosing These CCD’s East San Gabriel Valley, Los Angeles, and San Fernando Valley alone account for 54% of the total senior population in Los Angeles County.

Comparison

Where We Left Off (continued) In California, we determined that the East San Gabriel Valley (ESGV) is in most need of Affordable Senior Housing (ASH) due to the following: 1.Los Angeles County is the most dense CA county and has the highest senior population. 2.Out of the 20 Los Angeles County Census Districts (CCD), the ESGV has the 3 rd highest senior density and the 3 rd highest senior population in poverty. 3.The ESGV is the most underserved CCD when compared to the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles CCD’s.

Selection of Tract To ensure that the development is in a quality area, I examined 5 factors before selecting what I believe to be the most suitable tract. 1.Senior Density 2.Transit Terminals 3.Hospital Locations 4.Parks (open space) 5.Major Freeways (noise and air pollution)
