The federal Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin. Our guides describe legal records, association documents, rules, roads and places so you can decide for yourself what fits.
Questions about who lives in a building or neighborhood, or about crime, are not answered here: we point you to the public sources instead of describing people. Age-restricted (55 and over) communities are a lawful exemption under the Act, and we would describe one only by its own published rules.
If you believe you have experienced housing discrimination, you can contact the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Rules, rates and approvals change. Every rule on this page links to the office or statute that sets it; confirm with that source before you rely on it.
