Abstract: Affordable housing is an under researched area of residential attainment despite is importance and potentially consequences of households spending too much on housing—such as forced moves and financial instability. This study analyzes disparities in access to affordable housing between white, black and Hispanic households using 2005-2017 American Community Survey Microdata. Results show there are significant gaps between whites and the other groups regarding their access to affordable housing. Differential returns on socioeconomic status are also present, with Hispanics receiving minimal returns on education. Hispanic foreign-born headed uniquely households have greater access to affordable housing than their native-born headed households counterparts. When accounting for county-level ethnoracial composition there is mixed evidence regarding if households of any group are more likely to live in affordable housing if they live in a county with a high proportion of coethnic residents.
