As of 2022, the existing ratio in the County is 0.90 jobs per occupied household. With a <br />countywide housing supply target of 25,601 per HAPT, the resulting countywide job target is 22,983. The <br />County proposes to finalize this job target and adopt it using the existing jobs-to-housing ratio methodology. <br />These calculations are detailed in the table below. Allocation of employment to each city will depend on <br />final housing allocations and existing employment numbers. <br />Employment Projections 2022 2046 <br />Total All Jobs 17,932 22,983 (2046 occupied housing projection * 2022 jobs- <br />to-housing ratio) <br />Total Occupied Housing <br />Units 19,975 25,601 (from HAPT countywide housing need) <br />Jobs to Housing Ratio 0.90 0.90 Existing jobs to housing ratio used to calculate <br />future job needs. <br />Source: OnTheMap Work Area Profile Analysis (employed in Kittitas County, WA in 2022) <br />Source: ACS 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates, Table DP04 <br /> <br />
