Section 4: FINDINGS The following major findings can be made from the Study: 4.1 LAND USE, POPULATION,AND JOBS • MHMP residential development is at about 38 percent of buildout. Commercial development is less than 1 percent developed,and other non-residential land uses are about one quarter percent(1/4%) developed.Total population of Mountain House is estimated at 20,573. Development of commercial space, and consequently total jobs generated, is behind the MHMP estimates at development of 4,000 residential units. • Total job creation is currently 605 jobs, most of which has been generated by institutional land uses. Because of minimal commercial and industrial development,job creation has not reached the estimate of 5,872 jobs at 5,932 residential units developed in the MHMP (based on achieving a MHMP jobs to housing ratio of 0.99 which is the buildout goal) or 4,686 jobs using a ratio of 0.79 (the MHMP projected ratio with completion of 4,000 units). • The unemployment rate of the civilian labor force in 2017 (most recent year of data available) was better than nearby communities in San Joaquin County. Unemployment in the communities of Pleasanton and Livermore in Alameda County was lower than in Mountain House. • Ninety-eight percent of people who live in Mountain House are employed/work elsewhere (not in Mountain House).This compares with 52 percent of the population in San Joaquin County, and between 77 percent and 89 percent in cities along the Altamont Corridor. Generally, commuting for work is more prevalent in the Altamont Corridor than elsewhere in the County. More than half of workers travel more than 45 minutes (and more than 25 miles)from their residence in Mountain House to work. • Job occupations of Mountain House residents are more than 50 percent management, business and science, one-quarter sales and office occupations, and the remainder other occupations. Management and business occupations typically pay higher wages than the mean annual wage of all occupations in the region. • Of the total number of jobs in Mountain House,9 percent are filled by people who also live in Mountain House.The percentage is similar to Pleasanton but lower than the other Altamont Corridor cities where about 20 percent of jobs are filled by persons living in those cities.
