Overcrowded Households

Measurement Period: 2018-2022

Filter: none (all Zip Codes)

This indicator shows the households where there are more people than rooms of all types, besides bathrooms.

Numerator = Total estimate of housing units with 1.01 or more occupants per room

Denominator = Total estimate of occupied housing units

Why is this important?

Overcrowded housing goes hand-in-hand with low-paying essential jobs. People forced by poverty into overcrowded homes are much more likely to be people of color, due to discriminatory housing, education and banking policies that have segregated neighborhoods and prevented non-white families from amassing wealth. Overcrowding has been associated with increased communicable disease transmission and increased accidents. In the age of COVID-19, people of color also are more likely to live in overcrowded households and suffer chronic conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, that can worsen COVID-19 outcomes.
