Homeownership, including low-income homeownership, health and health inequities
Peng Nie and Qiaoge Li
Summary
This review provides a systematic examination of the literature on the relationships among homeownership, health, and health inequities, including 71 relevant English-language studies published between January 1, 2000, and September 30, 2024. It is revealed that existing studies vary considerably in the measures of homeownership and health outcomes, making it difficult to conduct cross-study comparisons and high-quality meta-analyses. Most existing studies (63 out of 71) have focused on adults and have generally supported the beneficial effects of homeownership on both physical and mental health. However, few studies have focused on children (8 out of 71), and mixed conclusions have been reported. Additionally, there is a lack of prior research, particularly on low-income households (6 out of 71). Studies involving the introduction of multiple measures, such as private renters, publicly subsidized renters, outright homeowners and homeowners with mortgages, have indicated that homeowners exhibit better health than renters do. Furthermore, although homeownership has been associated with better health, financial burdens such as mortgage debt could undermine this benefit. Several studies have focused on exploring the relationships between homeownership and health inequities in terms of gender, immigration status, race, and income. Homeownership-related health inequities exist among females, immigrants, non-White individuals, and low-income individuals. Finally, previous studies on the underlying mechanisms remain limited, leaving these mechanisms underexplored (12 out of 71), but five potential mechanisms, including health service utilization, social integration, housing stability, housing quality, and financial conditions, link homeownership to health and health inequities. Consequently, physical and mental health measures and multiple patterns of homeownership should be employed in a standardized way in future long-term longitudinal studies designed for both adults and children (especially those living in low-income households) to investigate the (long-arm) relationships among homeownership, health, and health inequities, thereby increasing our understanding of the root causes of health inequities and promoting the formulation of multidisciplinary prevention strategies that support early interventions for housing tenure and health.
