The housing affordability gap among different ethnic groups in Houston has been highlighted in a recent study. According to the report, Hispanic and Black households in the city face the biggest challenges when it comes to affordability.
The study, conducted by the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, found that Hispanic households in Houston spend over 28% of their income on housing costs, while Black households spend around 24%. In comparison, White and Asian households spend around 19% and 20% of their income on housing, respectively.
These findings suggest that there is a significant disparity in housing affordability among different ethnic groups in the city. This is particularly concerning given the rising housing costs in Houston in recent years.
Experts point to a number of factors that may be contributing to this gap, including lower incomes among Hispanic and Black households, as well as systemic barriers to homeownership. Addressing these disparities will be crucial in ensuring that all Houston residents have access to affordable housing.
City officials and housing advocates are calling for more action to address these disparities and ensure that all residents, regardless of ethnicity, have access to safe and affordable housing. By working together to address these issues, Houston can become a more equitable and inclusive city for all its residents.
