Creditworthy by Association
Credit is a necessary tool for consumption and wealth accumulation. However, credit invisibility, a low credit history, or none at all, diminishes its power. Some credit‐invisible borrowers recoup credit's power through a cosigner, someone who guarantees a loan to unlock lower interest rates and favorable terms. While the benefits of a cosigner are well known, less is known about the distribution of access to one. If access to a cosigner is distr…
Assessing Racial Disparities in Crowdfunding Donations Through an Experimental Survey
Crowdfunding platforms represent a growing yet unequal social safety net for American families. While past research has consistently highlighted poorer donation outcomes for campaigners of color, data limitations have obscured a focus on the role of donor characteristics. Using novel data from a factorial survey in which respondents evaluated fictional crowdfunding campaigns ( n = 1,459), this study assesses the extent to which the race of both c…
Coresident Households and IPV Risk
Are in‐laws substituting or supplementing? Mothers' receipt of support from paternal kin
Displaced and unsafe
Unsafe rental units are disproportionately located in communities of color, resulting in numerous detrimental effects for residents’ health and socioeconomic well-being. Yet, scholars disagree regarding the mechanisms driving this phenomenon. Exogenous capitalism theories emphasize socioeconomic factors while setter-colonial racial capitalism theories emphasize the racist policies and practices that incentivize unequal investment and maintenance.…
Still Separate and Unequal
Initially, U.S. federally funded low-income rental housing was racially segregated and unequal. Activists decried this injustice and pressured legislators to introduce new practices and procedures. Since the passage of these initiatives in the 1960s, scholars have repeatedly documented ongoing racial inequality in housing at large. Yet rarely have researchers investigated whether racial inequality persists within governmentally subsidized housing…
Heterogeneity in Neighborhood Social Integration
Social connections between neighbors are critical to the livelihoods of low-income families, but the strength of ties may depend on whether residents receive assistance to live in their home and neighborhood. Prior research has documented that housing voucher recipients and those living within public housing can experience relatively weaker social integration within their neighborhoods, while homeowners tend to exhibit the strongest neighborhood …
If You Don’t Know Me by Now
The racial composition of couples is a salient indicator of race’s impact on mate selection, but how well do those in intimate partnerships know the racial identities of their partners? While prior research has revealed that an individual’s race may be perceived differently than how they identify, most of what is known comes from brief interactions, with less information on established relationships. This study examines whether discrepancies in t…
Tapped Out? Racial Disparities in Extrahousehold Kin Resources and the Loss of Homeownership
Research shows that extrahousehold kin economic resources contribute to the racial gap in transitions into homeownership, but the extent to which these resources matter for racial disparities in exits from homeownership is less understood. Using longitudinal data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, 1984–2017, we examine the role of extrahousehold kin wealth and poverty in shaping racial inequalities in the risk of exiting homeownership. Our …
Paying for Their Stay
Coresiding with extended relatives represents a beneficial form of resource sharing for disadvantaged individuals that is particularly common among Black, Hispanic, and low-socioeconomic status communities, yet we know little about financial arrangements within coresidential families. Given ongoing racial inequality in extended family resources, this study explores whether contributing rent is patterned by race among coresidential families. Using…
Be My Guest
Exposure to concentrated poverty is largely understood as reflecting the role of individual influences and racial disparities, with less information on the role of extended family. Coresiding with family members represents one classic mechanism reducing exposure to economic hardship, but we often combine those residing as 'guests' with those who are 'hosting' their extended family. Using data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study ( …
Ties That Bind? Comparing Kin Support Availability for Mothers of Mixed-Race and Monoracial Infants
Although interracial partnerships are increasingly common, social distance between racial groups may impact participants' ties with extended kin. One persistent yet untested premise is that mothers with a biracial baby are "cut off" from extended family members. Using data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study (N = 4,147), we explore perceptions of kin support availability for mothers of infants and whether perceptions differ if the…
