• Fifty-seven percent of all respondents in a recent Zillow survey reported experiencing housing discrimination of some kind. 
• LGBTQ+ individuals were most likely to say they have experienced discrimination. 
• However, fewer than half of respondents said fair housing is important to them or their families — highlighting how much work is needed to educate people about these laws.
