4.13 POPULATION AND HOUSING <br /> 4.13.1 Existing Setting <br /> According to California Department of Finance 2010 census data, Redwood City's population for <br /> 2010 was 76,815 persons. In 2010,there were 27,957 households with 2.69 persons per household. <br /> �' The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG)projects the population for Redwood City to <br /> be 92,400 in 2030.28 As of 2008,the City had approximately 52,000 jobs (with an additional 5,700 <br /> jobs located within the City's sphere of influence) and an active labor force of approximately 43,600 <br /> people. <br /> The jobs/housing balance is the relationship between the number of housing units required as a result <br /> of local jobs and the number of residential units available in the City. This relationship is quantified <br /> by the jobs/employed resident ratio. When the ratio reaches 1.0, a balance is struck between the <br /> supply of local housing and local jobs. The jobs/employed resident ratio is determined by dividing <br /> the number of local jobs by the number of employed residents that can be housed in local housing. <br /> Redwood City currently has a higher number of jobs than employed residents (approximately 132 <br /> jobs per employed resident) and is projected to continue to have a higher number of jobs than <br /> employed residents with full build out under the current General Plan. <br /> 4.13.2 Environmental Checklist and Discussion of Impacts <br /> POPULATION AND HOUSING <br /> Less Than <br /> Potentially Significant Less Than <br /> Significant With Significant No Impact Beneficial Information <br /> Impact Mitigation Impact �P�f Source(s) <br /> Incorporated <br /> Would the project: <br /> 1) Induce substantial population growth � � � � � 1,2,3,13 <br /> in an area, either directly(for <br /> example,by proposing new homes <br /> and businesses)or indirectly(for <br /> example,through extension of roads <br /> or other infrastructure)? <br /> 2) Displace substantial numbers of � � � � � 1,2,3 <br /> e�sting housing,necessitating the <br /> construction of replacement <br /> housing elsewhere? <br /> 3) Displace substantial numbers of � � � � � 1,2,3 <br /> people,necessitating the construction <br /> of replacement housing elsewhere? <br /> ��State of California Department of Finances.
