Investigators, select-
ed from their own com-

to form credible, well-
matched teams. Most
were between 25 and 10
years old and looked to
be of middle-income,

according to a HUD
description.
They chose randomly
from all rental and

They made between
30 and 50 contacts in
each city — between 15
and 25 contacts tor
each of the two investi-

Asked why city-by-
city figures are not
being released with the
overall statistics, Ms.
Shalala said, "We will
release the individual
sites eventually. We are
just not satisfied thus
far with the first cut
(evaluation).
"We will release
them by the end of the
year."

went to one rental
agent had a 29 percent
chance of encountering
some kind of discrimi-
nation, and a 21 per-
cent chance with a
sales agent.
A black who shopped
with at least four rental
agents had a 75 percent
chance of encountering
discrimination and a 62
percent chance with
four sales agents.
But on a regional
basis, blacks fared
worse in the North-Cen-
tral part of the country
- Ohio, Kentucky, Indi-
ana. Michigan, and Illi-
nois - than in other sec-
tions, including the
South.
Blacks encountered
discimlnation 40 per-
cent of the time in the
North-Central region in
the sales housing mar-
ket, 18 percent in the
South. 17 percent in the
West, and 12 percent in
the Northeast.
In the rental housing
market, they had a 33
percent chance of
being discriminated
against In the North-
Central area, South,
and West, and 21 per-
cent in the Northeast
The investigators,
nationwide, found no
substantial differences
between treatment of
blacks and whites on
terms and conditions
for apartments, such as
rents, leases and secur-
ity deposits. And they
found no substantial
differences on common
courtesies, such as of-
fering the buyer or
renter a cup of coffee.
