Overcrowded Households

County: St. Francois
Measurement Period: 2018-2022
This indicator shows the households where there are more people than rooms of all types, besides bathrooms.
 
Numerator = Total estimate of housing units with 1.01 or more occupants per room
Denominator = Total estimate of occupied housing units

Why is this important?

Overcrowded housing goes hand-in-hand with low-paying essential jobs. People forced by poverty into overcrowded homes are much more likely to be people of color, due to discriminatory housing, education and banking policies that have segregated neighborhoods and prevented non-white families from amassing wealth. Overcrowding has been associated with increased communicable disease transmission and increased accidents. In the age of COVID-19, people of color also are more likely to live in overcrowded households and suffer chronic conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, that can worsen COVID-19 outcomes.

Trend
Technical note: The U.S. Census Bureau calculates 90% confidence intervals for American Community Survey estimates. Use caution when interpreting values with wide confidence intervals. Confidence intervals that are farther away from estimates in either direction indicate uncertainty due to small survey sample sizes. The U.S. Census Bureau does not recommend comparing overlapping 5-year periods since much of the data in each estimate are the same. Use caution when comparing estimates for census tracts over time as these geographies are redefined with each decennial census according to population changes.
