1251 ET - Most people say they have experienced housing discrimination, with younger generations, renters, LGBTQ+ people and people of color more likely to say fair housing is an issue facing them and their families, according to a Zillow survey of 26 major U.S. metropolitan areas. The survey found a majority of respondents--57%--reported experiencing some kind of housing discrimination. However, overall, only 42% of respondents reported that fair housing impacts them or their families, highlighting how much work is needed to continue to educate people about their rights under fair housing laws. While 74.5% of white households own their homes, only 46% of Black and 49% of Hispanic households own theirs. (chris.wack@wsj.com)
