In 1990, 6 million of our Nation’s households had a Hispanic householder. The vast majority (5.4 million, or 90 percent) lived in a metropolitan area (MA). These metropolitan Hispanic origin households are the focus of this Brief, which compares their housing characteristics with those of metropolitan households that had White householders who were not of Hispanic origin. The data were collected by the 1990 Census of Population and Housing.
The MA’s used in this Brief, one of a series on housing in metropolitan areas, correspond to the definitions that were in place in 1990. The count of 335 MA’s equals the total number of MSA’s (metropolitan statistical areas) and PMSA’s (primary metropolitan statistical areas). PMSA’s are aggregated into consolidated metropolitan statistical areas, which are not discussed in this Brief.
