Abstract

ABSTRACT Interurban differences in the quality of black housing are best explained by income-related and supply factors. Social class and household structure are not important independent predictors. Significant associations of housing quality with crowding and age of housing indicate that racial discrimination distorts the supply of housing available to black households. The size of communities mitigates the effects of discrimination; large black communities have better housing than small ones.
