Statewide Survey PPIC Statewide Survey: Special Survey on Californians and Their Housing By Mark Baldassare Nov 18, 2004 Some findings of the current survey 84% of Californians say that home values in their region have increased a lot in recent years. 55% consider the availability of housing a big problem. 77% say they are at least somewhat concerned that the cost of housing will prevent the younger generation in their family from buying a home in their region of the state. Homeownership represents a profound dividing line between the “haves” and “have nots”: Majorities of whites (71%) and Asians (59%) own their homes; majorities of Latinos (55%) and blacks (51%) are renters. The likelihood of owning a home increases sharply with age, income, and education. Homeowners are far more likely than renters to say they are very satisfied with their housing (75% to 34%) and community (65% to 41%). Although 86% of renters in California hold onto the hope of being homeowners someday, only 18% believe it is very likely and 49% somewhat likely that they will find a home they can afford. This is the 52nd PPIC Statewide Survey and the last in a current series of eight surveys examining public perceptions, policy preferences, and political choices relating to population growth, land use, and the environment.
