This paper uses the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to analyze Black-White differences in housing cost burden exposure among renter households in the United States from 1980 to 2017, expanding understanding of this phenomenon in two respects. Specifically, we document how much this racial disparity changed among renters over almost four decades and identify how much factors associated with income or housing costs explain Black-White inequality in exposure to housing cost burden. For White households, the net contribution of household, neighborhood, and metropolitan covariates accounts for much of the change in the probability of housing cost burden over time. For Black households, however, the probability of experiencing housing cost burden continued to rise throughout the period of this study, even after controlling for household, neighborhood, and metropolitan covariates. This suggests that unobserved variables like racial discrimination, social networks or employment quality might explain the increasing disparity in cost burden among for Black and White households in the U.S.
本文利用收入动态面板研究，分析了1980年至2017年美国租房家庭中黑人和白人在住房成本负担方面的差异，在两个方面拓展了对这一现象的理解。具体而言，我们记录了近四十年来租房者中这种种族差异的变化程度，并确定与收入或住房成本相关的因素在多大程度上解释了黑人和白人在住房成本负担方面的不平等。对于白人家庭来说，家庭、邻里和大都市协变量的净贡献解释了住房成本负担概率随时间的大部分变化。然而，对于黑人家庭来说，即使在控制了家庭、邻里和大都市协变量之后，在本研究期间，经历住房成本负担的概率仍持续上升。这表明，诸如种族歧视、社会网络或就业质量等未观察到的变量可能解释了美国黑人和白人家庭在成本负担方面日益扩大的差距。
