United Press International
WASHINGTON — It has been a
decade since the open housing act
was passed, and a new nationwide
survey finds blacks facing a 75 per
cent chance of discrimination in
apartment rentals and 62 percent on
home purchases.
Regionally, it showed discrimina
tion on home sales four times higher
in the North-Central area than in
the South or West, and the lowest
rate of discrimination on both ren
tals and sales in the Northeast.
Evidence of discrimination was
“about the same for rental efforts in
the North-Central, South and West.

still a serious problem in this coun

status and “then carefully trained so
that any significant differences in
their treatment could only be at

home sales, it excluded duplexes,
townhouses, houses costing over
$100,000, and builder-sold homes.
