The 2013-2017 ACS was used for time period consistency. Share of Workers In the City of Tamarac, there is a significant disconnect between the number of jobs and the number of workers.There are over 31,000 workers, but approximately only 15,000 jobs available. This can be partly explained by the inflow/outflow of jobs in the City with many residents traveling out of the City for work. Consolidated Plan TAMARAC 18 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) This is explained further below in this section. Within the business sectors, the number of workers is higher than the number of available jobs in all sectors except for Wholesale Trade. There is one business sector that shows a relatively large disconnect in workers and jobs. In the Education and Health Care Services sector there are nearly 7,000 workers, but only a little over 3,200 jobs. There is a large influx of workers than exceeds the supply of jobs. The Retail Trade Sector has the second largest gap, with over 4,200 available workers and only 2,900 jobs. When there are not enough jobs to support the supply of workers,those workers are forced to earn their living in a different city than they live in,which may substantially increase commuting time. Labor Force Total Population in the Civilian Labor Force 33,795 Civilian Employed Population 16 years and over 32,028 Unemployment Rate 3.3 Unemployment Rate for Ages 16-24 14.7 Unemployment Rate for Ages 25-65 4.5 Table 6-Labor Force Alternate Data Source Name: 2014-2018 ACS Data Source Comments: Data for the unemployment rate is from the Bureau of Labor Statistics(BLS),January 2020,Not seasonally adjusted. All other data including unemployment rates for age groups are from the ACS. Unemployment A major factor in a household's ability to afford housing is the availability of jobs within the jurisdiction. There are two primary sources used to analyze the unemployment rate in the City for this report. They each have pros and cons,but when considered together they can provide a clearer view of unemployment in the City. The first source is the US Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Estimates. In the ACS, unemployment data is only taken annually, and the most recent data is from 2018. It is also an average of the five years included,which does not necessarily provide an accurate view of recent employment trends. However, the ACS data is available at a census tract level and can help identify any areas that have disproportionately high unemployment. The second source is the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This measurement of unemployment is updated monthly and provides insight into any trends at the city-level. It is not available at the census tract level and therefore provides a look at employment as it relates to time, while the ACS looks at employment as it relates to space. Consolidated Plan TAMARAC 19 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) In the City, there is a wide variance in employment rates between different tracts. The tracts in the northwestern part of the City have the lowest unemployment rates, under 6%.The unemployment rate gets higher as you move southeast with the highest rate in the southern most tracts where it is over 9%. aI :C - - ■ A - 1 ...w Estimated percent of people age 16 years or older who were unemployed,between 2014-2018.

Instead of showing which sectors are most common in the City, as the table at the beginning of this section did, this shows what type of jobs are available in each sector. For example,this table would include a manger of a fast food restaurant and the manager of a logging company in the same category(Management, Business, and Financial) while in the earlier table they would be in separate categories. Within the City, the most prominent sector is the Management, Business, and Financial sector. Nearly 33%of all jobs in the City fall into this category.The next two largest occupation sectors include between 6,933 and 8,877 workers each.They are Sales and office and Service. The remaining sectors include 2,546 workers or less which is significantly less than the top three occupation sectors in the City. Travel Time Travel Time Number Percentage < 30 Minutes 15,643 51% 30-59 Minutes 11,398 38% 60 or More Minutes 3,274 11% Total 30,315 100% Table 9-Travel Time Alternate Data Source Name: 2014-2018 ACS Commute Travel Time Consolidated Plan TAMARAC 21 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) All other things being equal, residents would rather live in the same city as their job. Relative to short commutes and long commute times are associated with lower life satisfaction, increased stress, obesity, anxiety,depression, and increased exposure to pollutants. Residents with shorter commute times have a higher quality of life and more time to be active. In the City, long commute times are a significant issue, as shown in the map below. From the business section, there are significantly more workers in the City, than available jobs. This shortage of jobs is the driving force behind the commute time for Tamarac locals. While the majority, 51%, of workers are commuting less than 30 minutes, 49% of Tamarac locals are commuting more than 30 minutes. This includes the 11% that are commuting an hour or longer. The second map below illustrates in inflow and outflow of jobs through the City. Only 4.8% of Tamarac residents are employed inside the City limits. In other words,95.2%of locals are having to leave the City of Tamarac to go to work. t: a r I - . ._ ,u.. Estimated percent of workers with a work commute of more than an hour in 2014-2018.

However, in the City of Tamarac, the unemployment rate is less than 9% based on each threshold of education attainment from the table above. The supply of workers far exceeds the number of jobs available, and therefore the unemployment rate would be expected to be low. The shortage of jobs may be increasing competition to become employed. Approximately 7.6%of the civilians employed have less than a high school education. Similarly, the largest population of civilians employed has some college education or an Associate's degree, and may be studying to graduate from a bachelor degree program. The labor participation rate is also higher for those with higher educational attainment. Approximately 75%of residents without a high school diploma are in the workforce, which is lower than the workforce participation rate of 89%for those with bachelor's degrees.

In Tamarac, more advanced degrees are generally more common in older populations. However,that is only true up until the 65 years old or older demographic.Sixteen percent(16%)of residents over the age of 65 lack a high school diploma, more than any other age group. Educational Attainment— Median Earnings in the Past 12 Months Educational Attainment Median Earnings in the Past 12 Months Less than high school graduate 20,552 High school graduate (includes equivalency) 26,831 Some college or Associate's degree 34,062 Bachelor's degree 44,242 Graduate or professional degree 50,766 Table 12-Median Earnings in the Past 12 Months Alternate Data Source Name: 2014-2018 ACS Median Earnings by Educational Attainment The annual wage difference based on education can lead to substantial wealth differences over time. A person who graduates high school and works from the age 18 to 65 will earn approximately $1,176,551 in their lifetime. A person with a bachelor's degree who works from age 23 to 65 will earn $1,914,486. That added wage earned does not take into account the benefits that are often associated with higher paying jobs, like health insurance and retirement accounts. The additional income can also be used to purchase a home instead of renting,which can increase wealth substantially. Consolidated Plan TAMARAC 25 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) Based on the Business Activity table above, what are the major employment sectors within your jurisdiction? Based on the Business Activity table above, the Education and Health Care Services sector is the leading business sector within Tamarac. There are 6,808 workers employed in the sector and 3,271 jobs, making up 22% of workers and 22% of jobs. The second largest sector is retail trade with 4,273 workers and 2,900 jobs, or 14% of workers and 19% of jobs. The third largest sector is Professional, Scientific, and Management Services which consists of 4,147 workers (13%) and provides just 1,839 jobs (12%).The remaining sectors each provide less than 10%of jobs or workers in the City. Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community: According to the business activity table, a there are more workers in the City than there are jobs. Many workers travel out of the City for work based on the Inflow/Outflow of workers data from the LEHD. Economic development activities may help to increase jobs in the area and keep employment within the city. In the 5-Year Strategic Plan,the City does not have a goal for infrastructure needs. Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create. The City of Tamarac's Economic Development Department has outlined its goals for the Tamarac 2040: Vision for the Future plan. The highlights for these goals are: • Redevelopment opportunities • Emerging pharmaceutical hub • Expanded fiber optic network for greater connectivity and smart infrastructure • Enhanced multi-modal transportation, transportation hubs and rapid bus system • Clean manufacturing The City departments will work together to move forward on these goals, including workforce development and improvements to internet connectivity infrastructure and public infrastructure to transit systems. How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction? According to the data from the LEHD for Inflow/Outflow of jobs in Tamarac, the supply of workers far exceeds the number of jobs available in the City of Tamarac. The shortage of jobs may be increasing competition to become employed. According to the 2014-2018 ACS data in the Educational Attainment Consolidated Plan TAMARAC 26 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) by Employment Status table, the labor participation rate is higher for those with higher educational attainment.Approximately 75%of residents without a high school diploma are in the workforce,which is lower than the workforce participation rate of 89% for those with bachelor's degrees. Residents with higher educational attainment have more opportunities for finding employment. Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan. The Tamarac Economic Development Department works with Broward College to provide training and education to citizens in Tamarac 18yrs and older for free through the Broward UP program. This program provides training for people to find jobs and develop skills in today's workforce. The program also provides certification courses for Microsoft Office programs that will help improve job prospects for people. Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy(CEDS)? No, Tamarac does not participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) but will benefit from work in Broward County. The County CEDS report will allow the City to pull applicable information and data as needed. If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be coordinated with the Consolidated Plan?If not,describe other local/regional plans or initiatives that impact economic growth. See above. The County CEDS report will allow the City to pull applicable information and data as needed. Discussion N/A Consolidated Plan TAMARAC 27 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of"concentration") HUD identifies four specific data points that constitute "housing problems": cost burden, overcrowding, lack of complete plumbing facilities and lack of complete kitchen facilities. In Tamarac housing problems are rare except for being cost burdened. In order for an area to be concentrated it must include two or more housing problems that are substantially higher than the Citywide average. For this analysis, HUD's definition of"disproportionate" will be used to identify areas substantially higher: 10 percentage points higher than the jurisdiction as a whole. o Lack of Complete Plumbing Facilities: 0.4% o Lack of complete Kitchen Facilities: 0.6% o Overcrowding: 2.5% o Cost Burden (Homeowners): 35.7% o Cost Burden (Renters): 55.7% In order for an area to be concentrated it must include two or more housing problems that are substantially higher than the Citywide average. In Tamarac that means the threshold for concentration is: o Lack of Complete Plumbing Facilities: 10.4% o Lack of complete Kitchen Facilities: 10.6% o Overcrowding: 12.5% o Cost Burden (Homeowners):45.7% o Cost Burden (Renters): 65.7% In Tamarac,there are no tracts that show a concentration of multiple housing problems. However,there is one tract that had concentrated cost burden for both renters and homeowners: Tract 601.12.This tract is located in the southwest portion of the City with McNab Road to the north, University Drive to the east, Highway 870 to the south, and N Pine Island Road to the west. See map below: Census Tract 601.12 Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of"concentration") For the purposes of this analysis a "racial or ethnic concentration" will be any census tract where a racial or ethnic minority group makes up 10 percent or more of the population than the City as a whole. According to the 2014-2018 American Community Survey 5-Year estimates the areas with racial or ethnic minority concentration are limited to the following in Tamarac: Consolidated Plan TAMARAC 28 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) Black or African American: o Citywide: 30.3% o Concentration:40.3% o Tract(s) with Racial Concentration: 601.05 (40.6%), 601.28(48.32%) o Hispanic o Citywide: 29.2% o Concentration: 39.2% o Tract(s)with Ethnic Concentration: 503.09 (54.3%) A "low-income concentration" is any census tract where the median household income for the tract is 80% or less than the median household income for the City of Tamarac. According to the 2014-2018 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, the Median Household Income in Tamarac is $43,650. A tract is considered to have a low-income concentration if the MHI is$39,580 or less.There are three tracts with a low-income concentration. o Tract 503.09-$31,218 o Tract 601.07-$36,615 o Tract 601.12-$33,186 Census tract 503.09 is the only tract where both an ethnic concentration and low-income concentration overlap. This tract is located where highway 91 and 870 intersect on the east side of the City. In the following map Blue tracts are those with a racial or ethnic concentration, red tracts have a concentration of LMI households, and the purple tract has both. See map below: Race/Ethnicity and LMI Concentration What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? In Tamarac, there is one tract with a concentration of both cost burden and income, Tract 601.12. The housing market in this area differs noticeably from the city as a whole.The median home value is$102,00 in 601.12,which is over$50,000 less than Tamarac.The median rent is$1,198 or approximately$150 less than the city. Homes are also slightly older and the vacancy rate slightly higher in this market area. Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? The neighborhood includes many churches from a wide variety of faiths.There are also several parks,the University Hospital and Medical Center, and multiple commercial areas near the community. Consolidated Plan TAMARAC 29 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? This area has a number of major roads offering transportation options for residents. The relatively low cost of housing and rents may allow for grant funding to assist more households than elsewhere in the City.There are also a number of local businesses that could be partnered with for economic opportunities. 203.18 4 Onole Golf And /H.,n I ndvak:- - 203?16 Tennis CU'b 202.10 202.09} m `t,817 , + -1202.12 n�a f ate 201.03 .. r_. 203.22 203.1�7`- WAllattelva-+ N'La14?

Internet is an essential communications and information platform that allows users to take advantage of the increased interconnectedness of business, education, commerce, and day to day utility. Reliable access to the internet is becoming a necessity to thrive in the modern economic environment. Communities that lack broadband access struggle to keep pace with the country. Locations without broadband access impedes its population's ability to take advantage of the educational and entrepreneurial opportunities available online. This is particularly problematic for LMI areas where economic opportunities are already often lacking.Studies suggest a strong correlation between increased high-speed internet access and increased education and employment opportunities, especially in small cities and rural areas. Tamarac does not have significant gaps in broadband coverage. Most of the City has multiple options of internet providers, to include LMI areas. The average Tamarac household has three (3) options for broadband-quality Internet service; however, an estimated 17,000 locals still don't have access to more than one provider and may have to rely on low-grade wireless. The following map shows broadband access throughout the City. Broadband access is defined as advertised internet speeds of 768 kilobits per second or higher. FCC data shows three major infrastructure options within Tamarac: cable, DSL, and fiber. See map below: Broadband Access Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet service provider serve the jurisdiction. Once broadband access has been obtained, it is important to ensure there is competition among service providers. Any resource that has a de facto monopoly on an area may not be incentivized to provide standard and consistent services. Tamarac has a total of six (6) Internet providers offering residential service. Xfinity is the strongest coverage provider in Tamarac so far. AT&T(DSL) and EarthLink (DSL) are the second strongest coverage providers in Tamarac so far,providing the same percent of coverage across the City. The average Tamarac household has three (3) options for broadband-quality Internet service. These providers frequently overlap around the City: AT&T Internet(DSL and Fiber) Xfinity(Cable) Earthlink(DSL and Fiber) Blue Stream (Cable) Viasat Internet(formerly Exede)(Satellite) Consolidated Plan TAMARAC 32 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) HughesNet (Satellite) The following map shows the number of broadband service providers by census tract.

Tamarac has historically been prone to various natural hazard events including tornadoes, flooding, hail, thunderstorm winds,wildfires and others.The potential impacts of climate change—including an increase in prolonged periods of excessively high temperatures, more heavy precipitation, more severe storms or droughts—are often most significant for vulnerable communities. The City is located on the coast and is subject to primary effects of coastal impacts. By the middle of the century the average summer temperature is expected to rise four degrees.This rise in temperature could lead to altered weather and precipitation patterns, a rise in severe storms, an increased risk of catastrophic floods, increased electricity costs,and ruined crops.Additionally,coastal areas are expected to see an increase in the ocean levels or storm surge. These environmental changes may eventually lead people away from the coast. However, coastal populations have historically continued to see an increase in population from year to year. An increase of people may drive up housing costs, reduce the availability of jobs, and tax resources, while a decrease in population could cause labor shortages, decrease in competition for services, driving up costs and reducing quality, and reduced resources for locals. Coastal areas must continue to address their geographic challenges by anticipating, planning, and adapting to risks from flooding, sea level rise,and storm surge. Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low- and moderate-income households based on an analysis of data,findings, and methods. Tamarac strives to inform and prepare the general public for multi-hazard mitigation. There are online venues including the Tamarac Emergency Management website and social media pages, Broward County Emergency website and social media pages and the FL VOAD website and Facebook page that disseminate numerous informational guidebooks, videos, and emergency resources to build disaster resiliency in the community.
