Report Says 100000
More Could Have Been
Housed in August
Census Bureau Reveals
Findings on Survey Of
DC. Area Facilities

With the maximum use of existing
facilities, 108, 900 more persons could
have been housed in the District,
and Arlington County,
Va, last August, the Census Bureau
today.
Sample surveys made for the Ma
tional Housing Agency in the Dis
trict and 80 other war housing areas
during the last five months of 1912
showed that 1900, 900 more persons
could have been taken care of in
existing residential structures, by
maximum use of all possible dwelling
space, or 20 per cent of the popula-
ton of the areas surveyed.
The average proportion OF units
not occupied to a capacity of three
quarters person per room was 48 per
cent In the areas surveyed. In the
District, Alexandria and Arlington
County, the proportion was Ala per
cent.
32,7oo Vacant Rooms.
The survey showed $500 rooms for
rent in the District, and 32,700 bed
rooms which were not used for Sleep
ing. OF the dwelling units in the
District and two nearby areas o.
per cent were listed as vacant.
Overcrowded units-those housing
more than one and a half persons
per room-comprised 8.9 per cent
of the Districts total dwelling units,
as compared with Z per cent for the
other areas surveyed.
"The smaller cities tended to have
the largest proportions of over
crowded dwelling units and the
smallest proportions of units not oc-
cupied to capacity" the Census
Bureau said.
"The larger cities, in spite of their
low vacancy rates, had substantial
proportions of dwelling units not
filled to capacity. In two of the
largest cities surveyed, Detroit and
Baltimore. both with critically low
vacancy rates, about one-haf of the
total dwelling units were not oc-
cupied to capacity, and together
they could have housed 400, 900 addi-
tional persons.
South Most Overcrowded.
Southern cities had the largest
proportions of overcrowded dwelling
units, This was true both among
units occupied by Negroes and by
whites. Conversely, the cities in the
New England and Middle Atlantic
States had the lowest proportions
of oyercrowding and the largest
amount of available space for hous-
ing additional persons"
The survey was aimed to provide
basic data for the war housing pro-
gram Of the National Housing Agen-
cy. The Census Bureau said its
results should be of special service
to the agency's home use service
which was set up to promote full
utilization of existing structures tt
house war workers and their fami-
lies.

Tragic Need Shown
For More Low-Rent
Housing in Area
Washington Association
Points Out Plight Of
Service Trades Workers

A tragic need" exists for more
low-rent housing here, Waldron
Faulkner, chairman of the Housing
Study Committee of the Washington
Housing Association, declared today.
He called particular attention to the
plight of workers in the service
trades, who, he said, are unable to
find apartments or houses for rents
they are able to pay.
Commenting on a recent report
that approximately $4,000 new fam
lily dwelling units have been COM
pleted here within the past two
years, Mr.. Faulkner said the "ques-
ton Is how much of this housing
went to families of low income"
Rents charged for the temporary
housing units under the Alley Dwell
ing Authority are graded according
to the workers income, Mr.. Faulkner
said, and range from $18 to $45 a
month. These units represent only
about 10 per cent of the new con-
struction IN the last two years, how
ever, and are available only to in
coming war workers, who have
priority.
All Others $50 Upwards.
The Housing Association official
charged that virtually all other
family dwelling units rent for $50
a month or more. .,.4.
AN apartment or house at $50 a
month means that a family must
have an income of at least $2,500 a
year, because one weeks wages
should pay one months rent" he
said. Most war workers, Govern
ment employees, and workers in the
service trades earn between 81, 500
and $4,000 year. Where can they
find an apartment or house for $50
to $40 month, which is all they
can pay from their incomes?"
Mr.. Faulkner, whose committee
now Is making a special study of
housing problems of workers in the
service trades, quoted several local
personnel managers:
THE people who build seem to
think every one has big income
VI OAoO UACy tAAAAA pCOplc SIlOulO
not have families" he quoted the
employment manager of a laundry
chain as saying.
Told of Worker Loss.
Mr.. Faulkner said the personnel
director of large local chain store
reported the loss of Is per cent of
all new employees because of lack
Of suitable housing, and told the
committee:
Employees say they cannot find
anything to rent for $35 to $45
except single room and they can
not put their families in that for
many reasons"
Mr.. Faulkner pointed out that
many persons have come to Wash
ington In recent months to replace
employees of stores, laundries, res
taurants, and other service estab-
lishments who have gone into war
work or military service. Many addi-
tional service trade workers have
been brought here to perform neces-
sary services for the increasing
population of Government war
workers, he said
He called attention to the classified
sections of local newspapers as evi-
dence of the present shortage here
OF service trade employees.
