This paper seeks to explain why Hispanic households in the United States live in housing markedly inferior to Anglos'. I argue that immigrant characteristics of Hispanic households and the metropolitan areas in which Hispanics live play important roles in determining such inequality in the housing market. Empirical analyses of homeownership, household crowding, and housing costs demonstrate that immigration plays a role in explaining relatively low homeownership and high household crowding for each of four large Hispanic populations (Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and other Hispanics). The role of immigrant characteristics in determining housing costs is much weaker.
本文旨在解释为何美国的西班牙裔家庭居住的房屋明显比盎格鲁家庭的差。我认为，西班牙裔家庭的移民特征以及他们所居住的大都市区在决定住房市场的这种不平等方面发挥着重要作用。对住房拥有率、家庭拥挤程度和住房成本的实证分析表明，移民在解释四大西班牙裔群体（墨西哥人、波多黎各人、古巴人和其他西班牙裔）中相对较低的住房拥有率和较高的家庭拥挤程度方面发挥了作用。移民特征在决定住房成本方面的作用要弱得多。
