“I’m Looking for Somebody That Has Had a Job for a Year and Can Prove It”
Renters in the United States increasingly face barriers to securing stable and affordable housing, as tenant screening practices place growing emphasis on indicators of economic stability. This study explores how small- and mid-sized landlords—who supply a large portion of the nation’s affordable rental stock—evaluate prospective tenants, giving particular attention to employment status, an underexamined aspect of source of income (SOI) discrimin…
Race Brokers
Regulating Landlords
This paper explores “hidden” ways by which cities may inadvertently undermine access to decent, stable, affordable housing—especially for vulnerable renter households—through regulations that sanction landlords for tenant activities on their property. In–depth semistructured interviews and ethnographic observations with 57 small– and medium–sized landlords in Cleveland, followed over 28 months, show that perceptions of risk, flowing specifically …
How community physical, structural, and social stressors relate to mental health in the urban slums of Accra, Ghana
The intersection of homeownership, race and neighbourhood context
This study contributes to the growing body of literature on the multifaceted consequences of homeownership for households and their communities, which has seldom focused on neighbourhood satisfaction, an important predictor of neighbourhood quality. Existing studies on the relationship between homeownership and neighbourhood satisfaction have not considered whether homeownership varies in its consequences depending on local context or racial back…
Housing, medical, and food deprivation in poor urban contexts
Urbanisation, Poverty and Sexual Behaviour
The question of how urbanisation and poverty are linked in sub-Saharan Africa is an increasingly pressing one. The urban character of the HIV epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa exacerbates concern about the urbanisation–poverty relationship. Recent empirical work has linked urban poverty, and particularly slum residence, to risky sexual behaviour in Kenya’s capital city, Nairobi. This paper explores the generalisability of these assertions about the …

Neighborhood Attachment in the Multiethnic Metropolis
In acknowledging that patterns of neighborhood attachment—a key component in the maintenance of neighborhood vitality—may shift as a result of growing racial and ethnic diversity, this study develops a multiethnic and multilevel framework to examine the link between racial diversity and attachment among Los Angeles residents. the expansion of the Asian and Hispanic populations may affect attachment patterns if group members exhibit different leve…
Homelessness and Hunger
We employ data from the National Survey of Homeless Assistance Providers and Clients to examine the character and correlates of hunger among homeless people. Our analysis, couched in an adaptation framework, finds more support for the differentiation hypothesis than for the leveling hypothesis: Complex patterns of food insecurity exist at the individual level, and they vary with the resources available (e.g., higher monthly income, regular shelte…
From Puerto Rican to pan-ethnic in New York city
The increasing diversity of the US population has stimulated interest in racial identification, which is complex for phenotypically heterogeneous groups such as Puerto Ricans. We overcome several limitations of the empirical literature on racial identification among Puerto Ricans with a study that is grounded in the experience of Puerto Rican women in New York City. Our analysis focuses on two questions: How do Puerto Rican women in New York iden…
