Levittown were practically entirely white communities. At its start, a white-only policy was actually a part of the lease for Levitt homes. But even after the clause was forced to be dropped in a 1948 Supreme Court ruling, Levittowns remained predominantly white and continued to discriminate against black. Levitt himself feared that selling homes to minority would drive out white buyers. Additionally, nearly all homes were occupied by a married couple and family.
