Housing discrimination affects both Black and nonblack Muslims more than any other Philadelphia group

Evidence

A recent study on housing conducted in Philadelphia that focuses on Muslims specifically, shows that Muslims face more housing discrimination than any other group in the city, and Black Muslims are doubly subordinated compared to their non-Muslim Black counterparts. The study finds: … Both black and nonblack Muslims are significantly more likely than their non-Muslim counterparts, respectively, to live in neighborhoods with lower shares of whites, greater representations of blacks, higher levels of poverty, and lower median income, and they are less likely to be in suburbs. Our multivariate analyses show that among blacks and nonblacks, significant Muslim-non-Muslim differences persist in the neighborhood percentages white and black; among blacks, Muslims and non-Muslims differ significantly in access to suburbs. However, the Muslim-non- Muslim disparities in neighborhood poverty and median income are not significant. To reiterate: Both Black and nonblack Muslims in Philadelphia face the high levels of housing discrimination cutting against the common perception that immigrant Muslims are all middle-class professionals 315. — Cyra Akila Choudhury, Racecraft and Identity in the Emergence…, 484
