Abstract: Housing analysts have extensively studied homeownership attainment of immigrants and the native-born population. One major factor determining the homeownership rate gap between the two groups is immigrants length of residency in the United States. Immigrants who have arrived recently in the U.S. typically have low homeownership rates. That rate advances to higher levels as immigrants become more economically established and gain experience in U.S. housing markets, thereby narrowing the homeownership rate gap. However, one issue that has not been explored fully is how the homeownership rate gap has changed during the recent housing crisis, compared to previous years.
