Affordable housing is a problem for various groups of people. The purpose of this study was to investigate housing affordability for older nonmetropolitan female heads of household in comparison to older metropolitan female heads (using older male heads of household as a reference group). Data from the 1987 Panel Study of Income Dynamics were analyzed to describe similarities and differences on selected characteristics, housing expenditure/income ratios, and characteristics significantly related to housing expenditure/income ratios. Regression analyses indicated that tenure status and income level provide the highest predictive values for older nonmetropolitan female heads; that income level and minority status provide the greatest predictive values for older metropolitan female heads; and that tenure status and income level provide the greatest predictive values for older male heads. Recommendations for policy direction are suggested
