Appendix 3: Regional and Vacaville Assessment of Fair Housing

The City of Vallejo has been designated entirely as a low resource area, with three pockets identified as areas of high segregation and poverty: the Wilson Park neighborhood southwest of Solano Avenue (which includes a portion of unincorporated territory), the area west of Sutter Street to the waterfront between Florida Street to the north and Curtola Parkway to the south, and the area north of Fl. [...] The city’s highest-income block group has a median household income of $161,750 and is in the southeast section of the city, bounded by Ulatis Drive to the south, Stonegate Drive to the east, and Stonewood Drive and Ulatis Creek to the north and northeast. [...] The city’s second-highest income block group, with a median income of $155,298, is found in the northern section of the city in the Brown Valley area bounded by Vaca Valley Parkway to the south, McMurty Lane to the west, Putah South Canal to the east, and the city limit to the north. [...] As shown in Table 3-2, Demographic Characteristics of the Population with a Disability, 44.3 percent of the population in Solano County with a disability falls into this age group, suggesting that the high rate of disability in the southeastern portion of the county is likely due to the concentration of seniors. [...] Typically, areas with higher rates of lower-income households and more dense housing types have higher rates of overcrowding, as is seen in census tracts adjacent to the San Francisco Bay and to the northeast in the City of Sacramento and southeast in the City of Stockton.
