Title: Housing and the Locational Attainment of Immigrants in Metropolitan America
Researcher(s): Samantha Friedman (Dept. of Sociology, GWU) and Emily Rosenbaum (Dept. of Sociology and Anthropology, Fordham University)
Funding Source: The Fannie Mae Foundation
Research Status: Completed
Summary:
This project has examined nativity-status differences in housing and neighborhood conditions in metropolitan America using data from the 2001 American Housing Survey. In the first paper, which is forthcoming in Housing Policy Debate, we found that when compared with native-born households, recently-arrived immigrant households are significantly more likely to be crowded, but either as likely or significantly less likely to live in poorer quality housing. Further analyses revealed, however, that race/ethnicity is a stronger predictor than immigrant status in predicting households' housing outcomes.
Title: Does the Community Reinvestment Act Encourage Integration of Urban Communities? Mortgage Lending, Homeownership and Black Wealth Accumulation in Metropolitan America
Researcher(s): Samantha Friedman (Dept. of Sociology, GWU) & Gregory D. Squires (Dept. of Sociology, GWU)
Funding Source: The Ford Foundation
Research Status: Completed
Summary:
This paper, which has been revised and resubmitted to Social Problems, examines the extent to which the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) has helped racial minorities purchase homes in predominantly white neighborhoods from which they have traditionally been excluded. Using 2000 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act reports (HMDA) and 2000 decennial census data, we find that in metropolitan areas where a relatively high proportion of loans are made by institutions covered by the CRA, blacks and Latinos are more likely to purchase homes in predominantly white neighborhoods than in areas where relatively fewer loans are made by such lenders. This finding holds after controlling for a range of socioeconomic characteristics.
Title: Does the Community Reinvestment Act Encourage Integration of Urban Communities?
Researcher(s): Gregory D. Squires and Samantha Friedman (GWIPP)
Funding Source: The Ford Foundation
Research Status: Completed
Summary:
This study examined the question of whether or not the federal Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) assisted racial minorities in accessing traditionally inaccessible neighborhoods when they purchased their homes. The research found that in those metropolitan areas where a relatively larger share of mortgage loans were covered by the CRA, a higher share of black and Latino homebuyers located in predominantly white neighborhoods, controlling on several housing and demographic factors.
