Abstract: Based on selected data from the census of housing, as much as two-thirds of the poorer quality housing in the Nation was located outside metropolitan areas in 1970. One-half or more of such housing was found in the South. This less desirable housing was at least three times as prevalent among Negroes as among whites. Thus, in continuing efforts toward meeting national housing goals, special emphasis should be directed at improving housing in nonmetropolitan areas, particularly in the South and among Negro households
