Minority homeownership up in many states but disparity persists
Census data from 15 states and the District of Columbia show minority homeownership rising in the 1990s, yet gaps with whites remain. Illinois saw minorities own 46 percent of homes in 2000, up from 40 in 1990, while whites owned 75 percent of non-Hispanic white homes. Data for Indiana and Vermont showed slight declines in minority ownership despite overall gains. Nationally, 66 percent of housing units were owner-occupied in 2000, up from a decade earlier, with continued calls for stronger fair housing enforcement and expanded homeownership programs.
