Description: The U.S. Census defines a severely overcrowded housing unit as one with more than 1.5 persons per room, excluding bathrooms, kitchens, and half-rooms.
Overcrowded and severely overcrowded housing are markers for affordable housing availability, and they remain a significant challenge throughout Los Angeles County. Living in overcrowded or severely overcrowded housing units is associated with a wide array of negative health outcomes, including poor mental health and stress, developmental delays in children, and increased risk of communicable disease transmission. Low-income and immigrant communities are often disproportionately impacted by overcrowded and severely overcrowded housing. Cities and communities can mitigate overcrowded housing by adopting policies that permit the expansion of affordable housing stock and provide assistance to low-income individuals and families in securing safe housing.
