from Table 7 above that there are at least 16,920 unique households living below 50% AMI who experience either severe housing cost burden or severe overcrowding. Of these households, 6,435 experience severe overcrowding and 10,485 experience severe cost burden. In Santa Ana, 12,443 renter households and 4,385 owner households below 50% AMI are severely cost burdened. Of these severely cost burdened households, 12,520 are small or large family households who may have children present. While not as many, there are 6,600 households below 50% AMI that are severely overcrowded. This consists 5,045 households that are family households. The vast majority of these family households are renters (4,710) compared to owners (335). Individuals and families whose rental assistance has or will be terminating soon are at risk of not being able to find affordable, size -appropriate housing units. As noted in the market analysis, the cost of housing has increased significantly over the past 5 years and the supply of units affordable to families at or below 50% AMI does not match the demand. If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at -risk population(s), it should also include a description of the operational definition of the at -risk group and the methodology used to generate the estimates: Santa Ana does not maintain unique definitions or estimates of at -risk populations. The City uses the estimates and definitions that HUD provides for cost burden and overcrowding to identify at -risk populations and subpopulations within the community. Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness The greatest housing characteristic that is linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness is housing cost burden/ cost of housing and share of overcrowding.
