The article highlights a report from the Resolution Foundation showing that ethnic minority families are disproportionately affected by housing costs in the UK. They spend a larger percentage of their income on housing and are more likely to live in overcrowded and substandard homes. Factors contributing to this disparity include lower home ownership rates among ethnic minorities and potential discrimination. The report notes significant differences in housing experiences among various ethnic groups, identifying Black, Bangladeshi, and Arab families as particularly affected, with them spending significantly more of their income on housing than their white British counterparts.
Ethnic minority families are spending a larger slice of their income on housing costs compared to white British families, despite living in overcrowded substandard homes.
New research suggested that fewer ethnic minority households own their homes, potentially leading to higher housing costs for these communities.
