Abstract
Data from the 1976 Annual Housing Survey were analyzed to compare households headed by single females and single males. Using separate probit analysis for males and females, a model tested the relationship of socio-demographic, economic, and location variables to homeownership rates. Age of household head, household size, presence of elderly and presence of school age children influenced ownership rates for males and females. Marital status influenced ownership for females but not males. Current income was positively related while welfare income was negatively related. Permanent income had a positive influence on ownership for males. Possible reasons for differences in ownership rates are discussed.
