Application of the MHMP average persons per unit of 2.50 to 5,932 units multiplied by an
<br /> occupancy factor of 95 percent(also assumed in the Master Plan) results in a population
<br /> estimate of 14,830.The calculated population is greater using 2017 ACS data than using MHMP
<br /> estimates of persons per unit and vacancy rate.
<br /> Table 4 below compares persons per unit with Altamont Corridor comparison cities and the
<br /> County.All of the comparison cities have an average persons per occupied unit greater than the
<br /> MHMP assumed. Note that the table shows two columns for Mountain House.The first column
<br /> provides the ACS data and the second column provides the known data at the County level with
<br /> inferences for number of occupied units, persons per unit, labor force, labor force employed,
<br /> and the unemployment rate.The difference between the ACS number of jobs and actual
<br /> number of jobs is most likely due to the fact that the ACS counts jobs differently(full and part
<br /> time jobs and primary jobs versus total jobs).Self-employed persons may be included in the ACS
<br /> data; they are not included in the County-level data.
