Abstract

Excerpts from the article: In 1949, over 35 percent of the housing in the United States was substandard. Such housing failed to protect against the elements and constituted a hazard to health, safety, and welfare. Conditions were much worse in rural America where 59 percent of the occupied housing was substandard. What has been accomplished since 1949? What is the current housing situation and is more effort needed? Answers to these questions are documented in a USDA research report, Agriculture Economic Report No. 373, 25 Years of Housing Progress in Rural America (1977). The report shows that housing conditions improved dramatically from 1950 to 1975, especially in rural areas.
