 DESCRIPTION
This indicator addresses the distribution of affordable housing in the community. It looks at the distribution of affordable housing units in the city by neighborhood. The city has stated as its goal to achieve and maintain a mix of affordable, livable and green housing types throughout the city for people of all socio-economic, cultural and household groups. There is no target for distribution of affordable housing in the city. No trend can be established because we have only one year of data. Go to the top Arrow
 PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

In 2003 there were 3,473 affordable housing units distributed throughout the City of Santa Monica. 27% of the affordable housing units are in the Wilshire/Montana neighborhood. 22% of the affordable housing units are in the Pico neighborhood. 16% of the affordable housing units are in the Ocean Park neighborhood. 10% are in the Mid-City neighborhood and another 10% of the units are in the Sunset Park community. 1% of the affordable housing units are north of Montana.
 ANALYSIS

Affordable housing in a sustainable city is dispersed throughout the community. Typical urban growth patterns result in a lack of affordable housing, concentrated poverty and limited access to jobs and community resources. In a sustainable city, affordable housing is dispersed throughout the community to promote integration, share resources and provide a consistent level of service to every member of the community.
