Every state within the United States allows a landlord to collect a security deposit from a tenant. The maximum amount of security you can collect depends on the location of your rental property. Some states, such as Illinois and Texas, have no limit on the maximum amount of security deposit you can collect. Other states allow landlords to charge tenants a maximum of anywhere from one to three monthsâ rent as a security deposit.
2015 Black Population: 46.3 million, 14.4% of USA. In 2015 US Census Bureau estimated 46,282,080 African Americans in the United States meaning that 14.3% of the total American population of 321.4 Million is Black. This includes those who identify as âBlack Onlyâ and as âBlack in combination with another raceâ.
We determined the number of black men in America by taking the 2008 population estimate for African-Americans as a whole and multiplying that number by .477. (For various actuarial reasons, the Census Bureau found that 47.7 percent of African-Americans were male and 52.3 percent were female in 2007.) This left us with 18,631,063, or 6.1 percent of the U.S. population â a number notably higher than Bennettâs estimate.
