Latino homeownership rates have been dropping
Approximately two-in-four Latinos rent their homes, compared to one-in-four whites. Latino tenants with children are three times more likely to be evicted from their homes, putting Latina women and women of color at a higher risk of displacement, research shows. The higher rents in more desirable city areas are forcing many Latino families to move further away to cheaper, but more remote, neighborhoods.Around 56 percent of Latinos feel burdened by high housing costs. the report found. Hispanics tend to spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing-related costs, making it more difficult to afford utilities, food, childcare and health care.
A third of Latinos use public transportation daily or weekly, especially the 12 percent who don’t have access to a car. According to Salud America!, Latinos report that public transit routes often times don’t go where passengers need to go or are suspended without notice. They also deemed the services as unreliable, unsafe and infrequent.
