- Title
Racial Inequalities in Home Ownership.
- Authors
Jackman, Mary R.; Jackman, Robert W.
- Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper examines black--white differences in patterns of home ownership, using data from a recent national survey. Race differences are estimated net of household socioeconomic characteristics, family composition, and location. Results indicate, first, that the probability of home ownership is considerably lower for blacks than it is for comparable whites, throughout the United States. Second, outside the South (but not in the South), black owner-occupied homes are worth considerably less than the homes of comparable whites. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of these results.
