Substandard Housing

Donald L. Lerman

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1986, vol. 02, issue 3

Abstract: Rural areas have historically had a disproportionately large share of the Nation's substandard housing. That's still true today. Roughly 39 percent of the Nation's substandard housing units were in rural areas in 1980, while only 34 percent of American households lived in rural areas. This amounts to 2 million rural households living in substandard conditions in 1980.
