An overcrowded household is defined as one with more than one person per room, <br />excluding bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, and porches. Severely overcrowded households are <br />households with more than 1.5 persons per room. Overcrowding also tends to result in increased traffic, <br />accelerated deterioration of homes and infrastructure, and crowded on-street parking conditions. <br />Redwood City has a slightly higher numbers of overcrowded rental homes than elsewhere in the county. <br />About 13% of rental homes are overcrowded and about 10% are extremely overcrowded. Just over one <br />percent of owner-occupied homes are overcrowded or extremely overcrowded. Rates of overcrowding <br />are closely linked to instances of overpayment and affordability. The prevalence of overcrowding <br />indicates the housing needs of large households is a major concern in Redwood City and will continue to <br />be in the near future. <br />The table above indicates that lower-income renters represent 93% of single-family households that are <br />overcrowded. In fact, there are fewer than 160 owner households earning less than 100% of median <br />that can be considered overcrowded. <br /> Renter Owner <br />0- <br />30% <br />AMI <br />>30- <br />50% <br />AMI <br />>50- <br />80% <br />AMI <br />Total 0- <br />30% <br />AMI <br />>30- <br />50% <br />AMI <br />>50- <br />80% <br />AMI <br />Total <br />Households with <br />Children Present 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 <br />Table 12 – Crowding Information – 2/2 <br />Data Source <br />Comments: <br /> <br />6.3.F. - Page 41
