Like the housing of the Nation as a whole, the housing of American Indians on reservations comes in a variety of ages and forms. But the mix is considerably different.
This is one of a series of Briefs that uses data collected in the 1990 Census of Population and Housing to examine housing characteristics of American Indian households on reservations and their associated trust lands. The term “American Indian households” includes all housing units where the householder has identified himself or herself as American Indian, Eskimo, or Aleut.
This Brief looks at two different structural characteristics of homes — their age (the proportion that were either new or old) and type (the percentage that were single-family, mobile homes, or located in multiunit structures).
There are 314 reservations and trust lands in the United States. Trust lands are property associated with a particular American Indian reservation or tribe, held in trust by the Federal Government. In this Brief, the term “reservation” also includes trust lands.
