Rental housing has become the permanent form of tenure for households not having the income to enter into home ownership. Those renter households are predominantly composed of single parents, single persons and unrelated persons living together . Husband-wife households are becoming a minority in rental housing. Tract-level data are analyzed to examine the rental housing occupied by these households not formed around a married couple. The results indicate that households with children tend to rent larger units of lower quality, while households without children tend to do the opposite. Black, single-parent, female-headed households tend to rent housing of declining quality in neighborhoods experiencing deterioration suggesting the failure of the marketplace to adequately provide for this subpopulation
