Arab and Black adults were “at the sharp end of Britain’s housing crisis”, the report found, adding: “They have relatively poor experiences on every single housing metric we have investigated, from affordability, rates of private renting and the insecurity that brings, poor housing conditions, and discrimination both from neighbours and when it comes to housing access.”.
Bangladeshi and Arab adults spend more than twice as much of their household income on housing compared to white British adults - 23 per cent and 26 per cent respectively, compared to 11 per cent.
White British adults are also more likely to own their home - either outright or through a mortgage - than Black African or Arab adults, with 72 per cent compared to 35 and 31 per cent.
Ethnic minority families are spending a larger slice of their income on housing costs compared to white British families, despite living in more overcrowded substandard homes, a new report has found.
Bangladeshi and Black-African households were around three times more likely than white peers to live in a damp home despite spending twice as much of their income on housing, the Resolution Foundation found.
