  1. Co-financed by the European Fund for the Integration of Third-Country Nationals Access to citizenship & its impact on immigrant integration (ACIT) Social and Living Integration: CITINT Kristen Jeffers & Derek Hutcheson

  2. Previous Research • USA: Contradictory results - Hispanics have lower housing costs than Whites (Krivo, 1995; Boehm and Schlottmann, 2008), but other groups have higher costs (Elmelech 2004, Schill et al 2004). • Immigrants spend a higher % of income on housing in USA (McConnell and Akresh, 2009): • Lower human capital • Lower incomes • Urban concentration • Region of origin differences • Constraints of market – early ownership low (Nygaard 2011) + dual labour markets (Dustman et al., 2010) • Source: EU Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (SILC), 2008/2010

  3. Average Housing Expense& Length of Residence

  4. Conclusions • Generally, differences between natives, naturalised citizens and non-citizens are as expected from previous research. • Higher housing cost burden due to lower wages AND higher costs. • Foreign-born paying more for comparable housing and sub-standard quality. • Citizenship ‘premium’?
