Abstract
This dissertation presents three empirical analyses of housing outcomes across racial-ethnic and immigrant groups. Previous literature has importantly identified inequalities among both groups in terms of homeownership and location attainment. However, less is known about the interaction between race-ethnicity and generational/nativity status as it applies to additional housing outcomes, such as housing attainment and residential mobility. Drawing from the literature on systemic/structural racism, immigration, and the life course, the analysis uses two quantitative datasets and multiple regression techniques to assess how housing inequality is shaped by race-ethnicity, nativity/generational status, and life course measures. The findings presented in this dissertation support existing sociological theory while expanding on the nuances of housing patterns. As housing continues to be at the forefront of inequality measures in the US and around the world, the current study provides future approaches for understanding the complexities of it.
