Most are elderly, poor and living in rural areas. Nationwide, about 50,000 fewer households lacked complete plumbing in 2000 than in 1990, dropping from 721,693 homes (0.78%), to 670,986 homes (0.64%). Alaska led the nation in both counts, with 13,489 homes in 1990 without complete plumbing, or 7.1%, and 14,003 in 2000, or 6.3%. By region, the South had the highest rate without toilets and tubs. Alabama's Black Belt, the south-central region known for its dark soil and impoverished history, is slowly casting off its rustic inconveniences along with much of the rural South. McMeans said he wants to finish building an indoor bathroom and run the outside water lines through it. "They got some rattlesnakes back there," McMeans said.
