Precarious housing and health inequalities: what are the links?
This exploratory study asks two broad questions:
• Does poor health lead to precarious housing?
• Does precarious housing (including affordability, suitability and security of tenure) affect people’s health?
Older private renters (that is, people older than 65 years) were particularly vulnerable to unaffordable housing: half were in housing affordability stress.
