ABSTRACT

This study focuses on the fastest changing component of housing demand in the future—the immigrant and minority groups, age 25–84. Using the 2006 and 2016 Canadian censuses and American Community Surveys, we compare headship and homeownership rates of both immigrants and native-born Whites in Canada and the United States. We model the probability of being a renter head, owner head, or nonhousehold head by fitting a multinomial logistic regression, controlling for several individual and contextual variables for both countries. We find that most immigrant groups have had similar patterns of household formation in the two countries and that, whereas immigrants have shown upward mobility in both housing markets, those in Canada have progressed more quickly than in the United States. Further, we find that women are less likely than men to be a household head in both countries, but that the gap is larger in Canada.

摘要

本研究重点关注未来住房需求变化最快的部分——25-84 岁的移民和少数群体。使用 2006 年和 2016 年加拿大人口普查和美国社区调查，我们比较了加拿大和美国移民和本土出生的白人的首领和房屋拥有率。我们通过拟合多项逻辑回归来模拟成为租房者、业主或非户主的概率，控制两个国家的几个个体和上下文变量。我们发现，大多数移民群体在这两个国家的家庭形成模式相似，尽管移民在两个房地产市场都表现出向上流动，但加拿大的移民发展速度比美国快。更远，
