Decision to Own The Impact of Race, Ethnicity, and Immigrant Status

There seem to be differences in mortgage application rejection rates for different racial & ethnic minorities. Substantial differences in racial, ethnic, & immigrant homeownership rates fuel the perception that housing market discrimination unfairly denies homeownership to qualified households. This report assess the determinants of home-ownership among recent movers in the L.A. area. Income, educ., & immigrant status differences explain the homeownership gap between Latinos & whites. Asians are as likely to choose homeownership as are whites, & status as an immigrant did not portend lower homeownership rates among Asians. But, the homeownership differential between whites & blacks doubled between '80 & '90.Painter, Gary is the author of 'Decision to Own The Impact of Race, Ethnicity, and Immigrant Status' with ISBN 9780756731526 and ISBN 0756731526.
