Don’t know how to find comprehensive data but they had a development pipeline of 1100 homes in 2022 against a population of 13k. So that might increase their population by ~15%. And about 500 units approved in the pipeline right now. I think the original 1100 pipeline includes the now-opened “Emery” development which had 500 units.
If they approved housing at the rate of Seattle, the leader among large US cities, they would be approving around 1500 per decade. So it seems fast, though at a population density of 10k/sq mile they still might take a couple decades to reach SF density (18k) on current trends.
i can’t find data for emeryville specifically but alameda county doesn’t seem to have issued way more housing permits per capita than e.g SF
