- As indicated in Table 31 previously shown, only about 26 <br /> percent of Santa Ana primary wage earners work in the City. <br /> The proposed project will give more residents an opportun- <br /> ity to work in Santa Ana. <br /> - Table 39 indicates that approximately 2,037 of the future <br /> employees will be in the managerial, official, professional <br /> and technical fields. Incomes for those job categories <br /> would be expected to range from moderate to high. Some of <br /> those higher paid employees can be expected to prefer to <br /> transfer in from other areas, thus creating an increased <br /> demand for housing. <br /> - Likewise, some of the 2,037 professionals, middle <br /> management and technical employees will be recent college <br /> graduates with moderate incomes wishing to establish oew <br /> households. Those employees would desire to purchase <br /> moderate priced housing, but housing affordable to <br /> households making $30,000 a year or less can no longer be <br /> purchased in Orange County for that price (refer back to <br /> Table 34). <br /> - The existing low vacancy rates in the City of Santa Ana <br /> (0.5) and in surrounding cities indicate that employees <br /> desiring moderately priced rental housing will experience <br />- h difficulty finding it within short commuting distance of <br /> the proposed project (refer back to Table 33). <br /> - The high unemployment rate, 6.1 percent (72,200 <br /> individuals) in Orange County during February, 1982 <br /> indicates that there is an existing work force in the <br /> County. This situation would mitigate housing impacts, <br />-Ii <br /> especially at the lower income levels, which for the most <br /> part are lower skilled occupations. <br />--4 167
