DEFINITIONS OF INCOMES <br />At the outset of this report it is helpful to define the income categories utilized throughout this <br />document to report accomplishments. Income categories are based on the median income for <br />Orange County, which equaled $86,100 for a family of four in 2009. <br />• Extremely Low-Income: household income that ranges from 0% - 30% of the county median <br />income. <br />• Very Low-Income: household income that ranges from 30+% - 50% of the county median <br />income. <br />• Low-Income: household income that ranges from 50+% - 80% of the county median income. <br />(Note: some HUD reports refer to all households with incomes under 80% of the county <br />median income as Low- and Moderate-income.) <br />• Moderate-income: Some funding sources (i.e., local Redevelopment funds) allow the City to <br />assist households with higher incomes. This income limit is typically up to 120% of the <br />county median income. <br />Occasionally, the term "lower income" households or individuals may be used to reference <br />accomplishments. This is a generic term used to reference households/individuals with <br />incomes that range from 0% to 80% of the county median income. <br />In most situations, HUD funded programs are limited to persons with incomes of 80% of the <br />county median income or less (adjusted for family size). The income limits listed below (Table <br />3) were utilized to qualify/report HUD funded activities during the latter half of the report <br />period. <br />8 <br />Draft 8/26/2009 <br />19F-14 <br />TABLE 3 - 2009 UNCAPPED HUD INCOME LIMITS <br />
