Percent of Total Regional Housing Needs Assessment Allocation Built by Jurisdiction Aggregated across all Income Levels (2018)
• Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation sets goals for every jurisdiction to produce its share of regional housing needs at various income levels. LA County is currently in its 5th RHNA cycle. The allocation was set in 2012 with the goal of completing the required housing production by 2021.
• RHNA allocation and progress data was downloaded from the 5th Cycle Annual Progress Report Permit Summary published by the California Department of Housing and Community Development. The summary reports the RHNA allocation and the number of units permitted for Very Low Income, Low Income, Moderate Income, and Above Moderate Income levels for each city and the unincorporated area as of 12/4/2018. Using this data the percent of units built (completed) and the units remaining to be built at each income level and for the LA County was calculated, and the information is presented in tabular format.
• The percent of the total RHNA allocation (aggregated across all income groups) built for each jurisdiction was calculated. This data was joined with a shapefile of LA County jurisdiction using the field “city_name”, and the percentage of total RHNA allocation built for each jurisdiction was mapped.
