“…Emeka (2020) compared levels of unencumbered homeownership among immigrants by national origins vis‐à‐vis native‐born cohorts, seeing homeownership as part of an immigrant integration process that intersects with differential access to housing markets in relation to resources available through co‐ethnic communities. Although his classification scheme relied on the Census definitions, by examining the intersection of citizenship status and national origins, Emeka (2020) teased out structural features, such as refugee and reunification provisions that facilitated or slowed socioeconomic integration of some groups. In addition, comparisons between “US‐born Black” populations, “Sub‐Saharan Africans,” and “Afro‐Caribbean” immigrants helped to complicate the singular treatment of Black and African American residents in the United States.…”

This study is an epistemic reflexive examination of race in representative bureaucracy theory, responding to the criticism that its conceptualization has been narrow. To counter socially reinforced ways of thinking, we use a problematizing review method to read broadly and selectively. Reviewing a sample of articles published in public administration (immediate research domain); political science (neighboring domain); sociology and Asian/cultural/ethnic studies (indirectly relevant domains) between 2017 and 2021 and paying attention to social constructionism, we examined how race and ethnicity are conceptualized. While the articles in public administration focused on a binary conception of race, treating differential outcomes as natural, articles sampled from other domains explained how ethnoracial categories were constructed, highlighted the contextual nature of differential outcomes, and engaged with the issue of racialization. To expand the conception of race in public administration, we must explore the process in which racial constructs became associated with unequal outcomes.

“…Our study suggests that homeownership is an important factor associated with declines in murder and motor-vehicle theft. Future research should examine the link between immigration, homeownership, and crime, particularly for groups that have higher rates of homeownership than nativeborn Whites, like Chinese and Asian Indians (Emeka 2020) and for those groups that are explicitly attracted to distressed areas of cities (Adelman 2020;Adelman et al 2019;Pottie-Sherman 2018). Finally, future ecological research may benefit from employing solutions to address the issues of causality and selection bias (D. S. Kirk and Laub 2010).…”

Guyanese Immigration, Homeownership, and Crime in Schenectady, NY: 2000–2017

et al. 2022

The immigrant-crime relationship remains among the most intensely debated and contentious public policy concerns. In contrast to hypotheses under social disorganization theory and consistent with hypotheses under the immigrant revitalization perspective, most studies find the relationship of percent foreign-born with crime to be nonsignificant at the neighborhood level. Previous research focuses mostly on the importance of overall immigration or Latino immigration specifically in large immigrant destinations. The current study extends research on the immigrant-crime relationship to a non-Latino group in a smaller city by examining the relationship of Guyanese immigration with crime in neighborhoods within Schenectady, NY. We also investigate the association of homeownership with crime, which has received little explicit attention in the immigration-crime literature. Consistent with previous research, we find no significant association between percent Guyanese and crime. We find a negative and significant relationship between homeownership and crime. Implications for policy and future research are discussed.

“…Black and Latino homeowners have less home equity than similarly situated White owners (Krivo and Kaufman 2004). Nationality, nativity, immigrant status, and skin tone also influence household wealth and reinforce the salience of race (Allen 2011;Emeka 2019;McConnell and Akresh 2013;Painter and Qian 2015;Salgado and Ortiz 2019;Tesfai 2017). Legal permanent residents are among the most advantaged recent immigrants in terms of home equity (McConnell and Akresh 2013).…”

Vanishing wealth, vanishing votes? Latino homeownership and the 2016 election in Florida

In this article, I explore how race, class, and migration influence Latino household wealth, and uncover important implications for the close 2016 US presidential election outcome in Florida. I follow over 11,000 homeowners in the Orlando area of Orange County, Florida from 2004 to 2016. To proxy for immigrant incorporation, I leverage matched voter registration records and direct observation of borrower identificationdriver's license, green card/passport, or undocumented identification. Documented immigrants appear least vulnerable to foreclosure; multivariate analyses show that Latinos with undocumented identification are most vulnerable. Foreclosure and negative equity predict decreases in voter activity among Latino Democrats and Latino Independents, respectively, but not among Latino Republicans. I confirm this pattern at the precinctlevel using data on all Orange County voters. Across Florida, county-level Latino foreclosures and lagging home prices correspond to a decline in the Democratic presidential vote from 2012 to 2016. My analysis reveals the mechanisms that erase Latino home equity and how the loss of wealth may have played a role in flipping Florida from a blue state to a red state.
