NA-15 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems – 91.205 (b)(2)

With regard to race and ethnicity, low and very low-income, Hispanic households demonstrate a disproportionately higher rate of housing problems, as well as moderate income Asian households.  Among very low income households 84.6% of Hispanics compared to 69.4% of the jurisdiction as a whole has one or more housing problems. Among low income households, 100% of Hispanic households compared to 65% of the jurisdiction as a whole have one or more problems.  Among moderate income households, 100% of Asian households compared to 41% of the district as a whole one or more housing needs. This data, however, is limited by the fact that very small numbers of households exist within these populations groups and thus may skew results .
