Third in a series on how the nation's citizens are housed, this volume focuses on the physical adequacy and affordability of housing for blacks. The housing of blacks is more than twice as often physically flawed as is the housing of the total population. The proportion of blacks living in units with multiple flaws, especially maintenance and plumbing deficiencies, is more than three times that of the total population. In addition, blacks live in older housing more than the total population since they often are clustered in the central cities, where the housing stock is aging. Similarly, a black household must spend a larger proportion of its income on housing than the average householder. It is estimated that 37 percent of blacks (but only 20 percent of the total population) need to spend more than a quarter of their cash incomes to live in unflawed, uncrowded housing. Blacks face the additional handicap of discriminatory housing practices which can only contribute to the probability of blacks being ill - housed. In the case of household heads who are poor, male, and over 65 years old, the difference between blacks and whites averages out to 15 percentage points to the disadvantage of the blacks. In large households headed by women, the difference between poor blacks and poor whites is small, although it is the blacks who fare less well. Although adequate housing depends on age, sex, household size, and race, it is income that is the most significant determinant of how well or poorly people are housed. Tables accompany the text.
