Abstract:

This study analyzed the experiences of residents relocated from their homes as a result of highway location in several areas in Texas. Interviews were conducted with 165 households (58 percent homeowners and 42 percent renters) from the 1,130 households relocated in the State between January 1971 and January 1973 under the pro visions of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970. The typical respondent was Anglo, employed, male about 4Byears old. He was a member of a two-person household with annual income of $6,000 to $8,000. The median value for acquired properties was approximately $7,700 ($8,500 for owners and $6,800 for renters). Before relocation, monthly housing payments average $50 for homeowners and $80 for renters. After relocation, payments rose to $90 and $105, respectively.
