Among the two largest racial/ethnic groups in Orange County,we find that neither Whites <br /> nor African-Americans are disproportionately affected by housing problems at any income level. <br /> However, we do find that Hispanics are disproportionately affected by housing problems among <br /> households earning(1) below 30%AMI and (2) between 80-100%AMI. In addition, we find that Asian <br /> households are disproportionately affected by housing problems among households earning (1) <br /> between 30-50%AMI and (2) between 80-100%AMI. <br /> IFFY 2020—2024 Orange County, NC HOME Consortium 33 <br /> Consolidated Plan <br /> OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) <br />
