The typical home of a hired farmworker, compared with a rural farm and nonfarm home, was more likely to have fewer rooms, be part of a multiunit structure (although most were single-unit structures), and be connected to a potable water source and a sanitary sewage system. Farmworkers' homes had lower estimated resale values and rented for less than did rural nonfarm homes but hired farmworker housing were about as likely to have complete plumbing facilities as were rural farm homes. Temporary housing available for migrant workers was typically less desirable than permanent farmworker housing.
