Annual Housing Survey: 1973. United States and Regions. Part B: Indicators of Housing and Neighborhood Quality
Most of the indicators of housing quality collected in this special HUD survey have not been collected in previous Bureau of the Census surveys and censuses. They include water leakage in basement and roof; the physical condition of interior ceilings, floors, and stairways; breakdowns or failures in plumbing facilities and equipment; number of working electrical outlets; measures of neighborhood quality such as the presence of heavy street traffic and noise; and the inadequacy of neighborhood services such as public transportation. Text and tables summarize the findings while detailed statistical tables give breakdowns by region of the United States and by race of occupant. Renters were more likely to report water leakage from the roof, the presence of open cracks or holes, and broken plaster and peeling paint. The proportion of units with 1.01 persons per room decreased from 11.5 percent in 1960 to 8 percent in 1970 and 5.6 percent in 1973. Of the owner - occupied homes which had at least one bedroom lacking privacy, nearly two - thirds were in rural areas; of the renter - occupied homes with a bedroom lacking privacy, about half were in rural areas. Overall about 9.4 percent of owner - occupied houses and 15.6 percent of renter occupied homes had such a lack of privacy. In general, families with a black head of household reported greater conditions of deterioration, more undesirable street conditions, and inadequate services. Graphs, a copy of the survey instrument, and appendices explaining the study methodology are provided.
