The 2000 CHAS Data Book shows the percentages of minority households reporting housing problems for Hispanic, Black, Asian, Pacific Islander, and Native American households. The CHAS Data Book does not break down housing types experiencing cost burden for all minority groups and only presents cost burden data for Black and Hispanic households; therefore, when comparing minority renters with all renter households, this section only compares total minority households that reported a housing problem. The following narrative compares the housing situations of minority renter households with all households in Lane County, Eugene, and Springfield. In Lane County, the 2000 Census shows there were over twice as many minority renter households (70.0%) compared to minority owner households (30.0%). These percentages are the reverse for renter and owner households for all households in Lane County. There was a total of 5,033 minority renter households making up 10.0% of all renter households. Over half of all minority renter households (51.0%) are Iow-income (includes extremely Iow- and Iow- income households combined), 22.0% are Iow-moderate income, and 27.0% are 80.0% or above MFI. In Eugene, the percentage of Iow-income minority renter households was similar to Lane County where 52.0% are Iow-income, 23.0% are Iow-moderate income, and 25.0% are 80.0% or above the MFI. 50.0% 40.0% 30.0% 20.0% 10.0% 0.0% Renter Households & Percent Low Income [][] AlIMin°rit~ Renters Renters Lane Count~ / Eugene Springfield Households !
