The report discusses the inadequacies in the housing of large families in the U.S. and is part of a series on the housing conditions of various groups. The large household, composed of six or more people, decreased from 10.7 percent of the total households in the country in 1970 to only 7.1 percent in 1976. The report shows household flaws for plumbing, kitchen, sewage, heating, maintenance, public hall, toilet access, and electrical service. Maintenance is the leading flaw, followed by toilet access and plumbing. For large black household units, 30.6 percent had flaws, while 23.5 percent of the Hispanic households and only 12 percent of the white households had flaws. Although the rate of flawed housing for the entire Nation is 10 percent, it is 17 percent for large households. The likelihood of being inadequately housed is greatest in the rural west and in the New York City area and smallest in the north central region. If a poor white man is the head of a large household, his chances of living in inadequate housing are one in five, while it is one in three for a white woman or Hispanic person of either sex and greater than one in three for a black of either sex. A rural black's chances are greater than one in two. Nearly 87 percent of owner households can afford adequate housing for 25 percent of their income, while only 63 percent of renter households can rent adequate housing. Charts, tables, and photographs are included.
