| Abstract: | Blacks are housed poorly compared to the total American population. Black housing suffers frequently from deficiencies in every category except heating and electricity. It is estimated that 37% of blacks, but only 20% of the total population, need to spend more than a quarter of their cash incomes to live in unflawed, uncrowded housing. The probability of blacks living in inadequate housing depends on the following factors: (1) income; (2) age, poor black households whose heads are over 65 have a much higher likelihood of being ill-housed than comparable white households; (3) sex and household size, a poor household of six or more people has a very sizeable chance of being ill-housed, but a poor black man, living alone, has the greatest chance of all; (5) race, the impact of discrimination must be regarded as adding to the probability of blacks being ill-housed.
