Though fair housing laws have been in place for nearly 60 years, a majority of people — particularly renters, young adults and people of color — report facing housing discrimination
- Fifty-seven percent of all respondents in a recent Zillow survey reported experiencing housing discrimination of some kind.
- LGBTQ+ individuals were most likely to say they have experienced discrimination.
- However, fewer than half of respondents said fair housing is important to them or their families — highlighting how much work is needed to educate people about these laws.
