Income, Homeownership and Residential Assorting among Latinos in the US

residential assorting and homeownership for those of Latino origin (N = 46,024). Using logistic and ordinary least squares regression, I find that income has a disproportionate impact on the odds of owning a home and how ethnically similar the area Hispanics live for all five ethnic groups. In addition, income has a significant impact on the extent of ethnic clustering in the area Hispanics live. I conclude that income is a highly significant me-diator of the relationship between ethnicity and both homeownership and residential assorting. The results illus-trate that ethnic differences in income also relate to ethnic differences in residential assorting, an extension to the emerging literature that racial differences in income influence racial differences in residential location
