Demographic Facts: Residents Living in Public Housing
This report provides comprehensive demographic data on the 6.8 million Americans who rely on public housing assistance, including both traditional public housing residents and Housing Choice Voucher recipients. The analysis reveals that these communities face significant economic challenges, with most households falling well below the federal poverty line despite many residents working, and experience health barriers due to safety concerns and limited access to healthcare and quality food. The data serves as an essential resource for healthcare providers, policymakers, and advocates working to address health disparities in underserved communities.
