abstract: "Fair Housing Act (Title VIII) cases filed with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, January 2006 through June 2020: 130,661 cases counted for the nation, for each state and territory by calendar year, and for each county with at least one case, with the cases that cite each basis (race, color, national origin, disability, familial status, religion, sex, retaliation). HUD's list is one row per filed case; only counts are kept. A case can cite several bases, so the bases add up to more than the cases."
