This paper offers background data on the number of hotels and rooming houses in the country and the people who live in them. Overall, one - tenth of a percent of all Americans live in hotels or rooming houses. Another tenth of a percent live as lodgers with individual families. Among poor people, under 50 percent of median income, half of a percent live in hotels or rooming houses. Hotel dwellers live mainly in the West, while rooming house dwellers are mostly in the Northeast. They tend to be white, male, unmarried, and with housing quality substantially worse than the rest of the country. Data distinguish between residential hotels, where three - quarters of the rooms are occupied by permanent residents, and transient hotels, where fewer than three - quarters have permanent residents. The paper also presents data on people living in group homes, mobile homes, efficiency apartments, and other houses and apartments. An overall comparison covers all income levels, and tables show data on poor people, below 50 percent of median income. (Author abstract modified).
