12022-11-22T16:26:35-08:00Pets & Housing: It's "Ruff" - Introduction15In 2022, over 70% of U.S. households own a pet , which means that 7 in 10 families take their pets into consideration when moving, buying or renting a home, or otherwise arranging their living situations. The following pages will explore 3 topics surrounding housing and pet ownership—inequalities surrounding how a pet owner’s race and/or age affect their access to quality housing; emotional support animals and their hotly-contended place in the rental market; and homelessness and pet ownership.plain2022-12-12T12:11:40-08:00A (white) husband in a suit and a (white) wife in a knee-length dress, a white picket fence, two kids (a boy and a girl), a cat, and a dog comprise the stereotypical image of suburbia, and while this image can (and should) be deconstructed and criticized for the unrealistic and often unattainable expectations it sets for the poor, people of color, and queer people, one oft-unrecognized element of this image is that of the pets. In 2022, over 70% of U.S. households own a pet, which means that seven in ten families take their pets into consideration when moving, buying or renting a home, or otherwise arranging their living situations.
The following pages explore three topics surrounding housing and pet ownership—inequalities surrounding how a pet owner’s race and/or age affect their access to quality housing; emotional support animals and their hotly-contended place in the rental market; and homelessness and pet ownership—using data from academic sources supplemented with videos from outside, public-facing sources in an effort to answer questions such as, “Does pet ownership affect a person’s ability to secure housing?,” “What demographic factors contribute to housing inequality and pet ownership?,” and “What are the consequences of pet ownership on the housing market and the individual?”
The above-mentioned foci of this project are not the only issues surrounding pets and housing, and this project is meant to provide a brief insight into the ways that (hu)man’s best friend factors into the basic need for stable shelter. Other points of conversation that this project does not address include pets in college campus housing, pets as travel companions, certified service animals in the home, and more. Further research into any one of these avenues would undoubtedly yield additional connections and threads worth exploring.
