Median gross rent from the Census ACS 2024 1-year, Table B25064; pay from BLS OEWS May 2025; rent burden uses estimated take-home pay (2026 federal and state income tax plus FICA on the median wage). Rents are medians across Sacramento for all renters, not trade-specific, and take-home is an estimate for a single filer. Actual affordability varies with household size, neighborhood, and hours worked.

The path in

Active apprentice counts from the DOL Registered Apprenticeship, FY2024 database (RAPIDS): distinct apprentices by apprentice state (DOL defines this as the apprentice’s location; records from state apprenticeship agencies use the program’s state). Figures are statewide and are the same on every city page in the state. Occupation was not reported for 34.0% of active apprentices, so trade-level counts understate the true pipeline. DOL occupation titles counted: “GLAZIER”. U.S. Department of Labor dataset.
