美国的住房负担能力通常采用比率法来衡量，那些将收入的百分之三十以上用于住房费用的人被认为面临住房负担能力的挑战。已经制定了替代标准，重点关注剩余收入，即住房支出后剩余的收入是否足以满足非住房需求。本研究采用洛杉矶家庭和邻里调查数据来考虑一项剩余收入标准中的种族/民族、出生地和法律地位差异。对住房引起的贫困的逻辑回归分析重点关注五个不同群体之间是否存在差异：美国出生的拉丁裔、非西班牙裔白人和非裔美国人、授权的拉丁裔移民和未经授权的拉丁裔移民。结果表明：(1) 拉丁裔本地人比非裔美国人和拉丁裔移民更有可能陷入住房导致的贫困，(2) 未经授权的拉丁裔移民并不比其他群体更有可能经历这种结果。目前的工作扩展了以前的研究。首先，结果提供了使用剩余收入标准实施住房负担能力的价值的额外证据。比率方法的替代方案值得更多对住房负担能力感兴趣的学者和政策制定者更多的实证关注。其次，迄今为止，拉丁裔的住房奖学金通常根据种族、出生地和公民身份进行区分。本研究有助于调查拉丁裔出生地和法律地位异质性的新兴研究。
Housing affordability in the United States is generally operationalized using the ratio approach, with those allocating more than thirty percent of income to shelter costs considered to have housing affordability challenges. Alternative standards have been developed that focus on residual income, whether income remaining after housing expenditures is sufficient to meet non-housing needs. This study employs Los Angeles Family and Neighborhood Survey data to consider racial/ethnic, nativity and legal status differences in one residual income standard. Logistic regression analyses of housing-induced poverty focus on whether there are differences among five distinct groups: US born Latinos, Non-Hispanic Whites, and African Americans, authorized Latino immigrants, and unauthorized Latino immigrants. Results suggest that: (1) Latino natives are significantly more likely to be in housing-induced poverty than African Americans and Latino immigrants, and (2) unauthorized Latino immigrants are not more likely to experience the outcome than other groups. The present work extends previous research. First, the results provide additional evidence of the value of operationalizing housing affordability using a residual income standard. Alternatives to the ratio approach deserve more empirical attention from a wider range of scholars and policymakers interested in housing affordability. Second, housing scholarship to date generally differentiates among Latinos by ethnicity, nativity, and citizenship. The present study contributes to emerging research investigating heterogeneity among Latinos by nativity and legal status.
