Abstract

Home adequacy for different groups in the United States has not been adequately studied in recent times, particularly for immigrants and female-headed households. Using data from the 2009 American Housing Survey and a logit model, we find that there is a significant adequacy difference for blacks and Hispanics when compared to the whites in the U.S. However, that is not the case for immigrants relative to natives. We also find that naturalization improves housing adequacy among immigrant homeowners, whereas female-headed households have a significantly higher home adequacy than that of male-headed households.
