Previous research has found discrimination against same-sex couples in the rental housing market. However, no studies have tested in rural markets, even though anti-LGBT attitudes may be more prevalent there due to conservative social norms and less frequent contact with LGBT people. I study whether the rate of discrimination against same-sex couples differs between rural and urban rental housing markets. I use a matched correspondence test design, sending email inquiries about the availability of rental homes to 445 landlords in 28 markets posing as either a same-sex or opposite-sex couple. Results compare rates of positive response between these groups, suggesting that landlords do not respond at substantially different rates to inquiries from same-sex or opposite-sex couples in rural or urban markets, nor do response rates differ between states with anti-discrimination ordinances and those without.

同性恋恐惧症和房屋搜索:在农村和城市住房市场中针对同性伴侣的租赁市场歧视

先前的研究发现,在租赁住房市场上对同性伴侣的歧视。但是,尽管由于保守的社会规范和与LGBT人士的接触较少,反LGBT态度可能在农村市场更为普遍,但尚无针对农村市场的研究进行检验。我研究了农村和城市出租住房市场对同性伴侣的歧视率是否不同。我使用匹配的通信测试设计,向28个市场中有同性恋或异性恋夫妇的445个房东发送有关出租房屋可用性的电子邮件询问。结果比较了这两个群体之间的积极回应率,这表明在农村或城市市场,房东对同性或异性伴侣的询问的回应率没有明显不同,
