This study compared homeownership of households with a disabled member to that of households without a disabled member between the Republic of Korea and the United States, after adjusting for demographic factors such as mean age and race/ethnicity of a household. Also, the study compared homeownership of different sub-groups within a larger disability group by types, number, and onsets of conditions/impairments. Secondary analyses of data were performed utilizing the 2000 National Disability Survey for Korea and the 1996 Survey of Income and Program Participation (conducted in 1999) for the U.S. The intent was to provide a clear understanding of the status of homeownership on an international level. The findings indicated that, compared to non-disability households, disability households in the U.S. were more likely to rent housing for cash, while disability households in Korea were less likely to rent it for cash or more likely to occupy it free of charge, than own it, after adjusting for demographic factors of a household. Besides differences between Korea and the U.S. in homeownership of people with disabilities, there were similarities between the two countries in this study. Compared to households that had a member with physical impairment, households that had a member with auditory/lingual impairment were less likely to occupy housing free of charge than own it, after adjusting for number and onsets of conditions/impairments. The estimated odds of renting housing for cash rather than owning housing decreased with onsets of conditions/impairments getting late, after adjusting for types and number of conditions/impairments. Finally, the present study concluded with a discussion of housing policies and services for people with disabilities.
