Description:
When the U.S. Census publishes its data for 1990, they will separate the information, as always, into two categories: population and housing. Too often, each category has been considered in isolation. Demographers have, for the most part, ignored the housing data, focusing instead on fertility rates and the structure of the household groups in which the vast majority of the population lives. Yet they have stopped short of investigating how the search for accommodation in housing units affects those households. Conversely, economists, geographers, and urban planners have explored the significant role housing plays in the national economy and in urban structure, but have rarely examined the demographic details of who lives in those units.
