This study described the housing tenure and residential density of elders from the six largest Asian American ethnic groups in the US: Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Asian Indian, and Vietnamese. These groups were compared to non-Hispanic White elders. Based on data from the 2000 US Census of Population, multilevel regression analyses showed that Japanese elders were most like the non-Hispanic White comparison group across the two housing dimensions. Older Vietnamese persons were least likely to own their homes compared to the other Asian American groups, and with the exception of the Japanese elders, all Asian groups were more likely than non-Hispanic Whites to live in crowded residences. In general, considerable heterogeneity in housing characteristics was observed across the six older Asian American ethnic groups, even after controlling for assimilation and housing discrimination indicators.
本研究描述了美国六大亚裔族群（华裔、菲律宾裔、日裔、韩裔、印度裔和越南裔）老年人的住房保有情况和居住密度。将这些族群与非西班牙裔白人老年人进行了比较。基于2000年美国人口普查数据，多层次回归分析表明，在两个住房维度上，日裔老年人最类似于非西班牙裔白人对照组。与其他亚裔族群相比，越南老年人拥有自有住房的可能性最小，并且除了日裔老年人外，所有亚裔族群比非西班牙裔白人更有可能居住在拥挤的住所。总体而言，即使在控制了同化和住房歧视指标之后，六个亚裔老年族群在住房特征方面仍存在相当大的异质性。
