Chapter 2:HOUSING ELEMENT NEEDS ASSESSMENTIntroductionGarden Grove, like many communities in Southern California, has experienced significant changesin its population and housing market over the past two decades. The population has become morediverse, and has grown at a faster rate than the housing stock. In 2012, Garden Grove residentsfaced palpable concerns about housing availability and affordability that similarly impacted residentsthroughout the State. Prior to the beginning of the national recession that began in 2007, thehousing market had been very tight, with home prices skyrocketing and rents increasingdramatically. The market dampened significantly during the 2007-2011 recession, with prices fallingand many homeowners facing “underwater” mortgages, where they owned more on their homesthat the homes’ value. Increasing foreclosure rates nationwide created a tight rental market and insome areas, resulted in declining neighborhood conditions. All of this occurred in the face ofcontinuing population pressures for decent, affordable housing.In Garden Grove, the effects were not as marked as they were in newer suburban communities,such as those in the Inland Empire. Long-time homeowners were able to provide market andneighborhood stability. Also, an increasing Asian population with access to overseas money helpedmaintain good housing conditions in the community. More recently, very low interest rates and theattractiveness of Garden Grove helped home values slowly creep back up. Increasing land pricescontinue to create a high demand among homebuyer for small-lot single-family homes andcondominiums. These housing types are also popular with developers who can achieve a largerprofit margin with these development types. Concerns about cost and availability are magnified forspecial needs groups such as seniors, large families, disabled residents, and homeless persons whoface severe limitations in their ability to find decent housing due to physical or economicconstraints.To understand how housing needs of the current population and set the foundation for craftingpolicies and programs, this Housing Needs Assessment section addresses population characteristics,employment patterns, and income levels in Garden Grove. The information illustrates how the CityGarden Grove has grown and changed, and identifies patterns and trends that serve as the basis fordefining the City’s housing policies and programs.
