Economic Disparities Questions
Economic disparities significantly affect access to affordable housing. Individuals or families with lower incomes often struggle to afford housing due to rising costs and limited availability. As a result, they may be forced to live in substandard or overcrowded conditions, or even become homeless. Economic disparities also contribute to the gentrification of neighborhoods, where low-income residents are displaced by wealthier individuals or developers, further reducing access to affordable housing. Additionally, economic disparities can lead to unequal access to resources and opportunities, making it difficult for marginalized communities to secure stable housing options.
