San Mateo County has <strong>by</strong> far the highest, ranging from $2,084<br />
to$3,570. Alameda County, where almost a quarter of low-income<br />
workers live, has relatively low private vehicle costs compared to other<br />
counties (ranging from $410 to $739). Santa Clara County, which also<br />
has a fairly large share of the Bay Area’s low-income workers, has fairly<br />
low costs as well, ranging from $477 to $1,158. The estimated costs are<br />
quite high in Napa County ($1,319 to $2,582) and may impose a<br />
notable cost burden on low-income families there, but Napa County has<br />
only 2 percent of the Bay Area’s low-income workers. Some counties<br />
show a large difference in private vehicle costs between the two<br />
neighborhoods that we have selected: Cost estimates in Contra Costa<br />
County range from $398 to $2,174, and cost estimates in Solano<br />
County range from $166 to $2,443.<br />
