Effect of race on housing affordability - nel2019 - 02-21-2019

Hello,
I'm a social work student and I intern at a local legislator's office. I am conducting a research on the effect that race has on housing affordability.

I am looking to see if anyone can guide me in the right direction to get data thats been collected in Rockland County, New York. It would be even better if it the data is specifically for spring Valley, NY.

People from minority groups such as black/African American and Hispanics/Latino Households are cost-burdened, live check by check and cannot afford their own homes because of systematic challenges and I would like to go over the data to give the legislator's office I intern at some recommendations.

To move forward I need data like household income, race, size of the household, and if they own or rent the home they are living in.

I would really appreciate your help!

Thanks,
Nelcy
