Housing GapHousing Stock of Subregions Differ Throughout the Sierra Nevada Why is it important? The housing gap is the comparative availability of housing for existing low- and moderate-income households. Providing housing choices for lower-income households allows people with lower-income jobs, such as many of those found in the growing tourism and personal service industries, to live in the Sierra. How are we doing? As with California's urban areas, there are too few low-income housing units in the North Central and South Central Sierra. East shows a surplus of low-income units because of a couple of relatively large trailer/modular-home parks in Inyo County. A shortage of low-middle income (between 80 and 100 percent median income) units means that many of these households in the East Sierra are likely occupying affordable units.
