| Title |
A Remnant of the Past? Jewish Homeownership Gaps in Montreal and Toronto, from 1971 to 2011
|
| Abstract |
Using the census data from 1971, 1981, and 2001, and the Canadian National Household Survey of 2011, the author compares the homeownership rates of Jews with non-Jews in Montreal and Toronto. The author found that the housing career of Jews differs from that of non-Jews, with a lower homeownership rate, especially for seniors. For the entire period covered by this research, the author found that Canadian Jews 60 years of age and older were substantially less likely to be homeowners. For Jews under the age of 50, she found a persistent lower homeownership rate in Montreal, while the homeownership gap of the younger cohorts appears to have faded in Toronto. The author discusses the diaspora hypothesis as a potential explanation, and suggests that the results may indicate differences in the determinants of ontological security between Canadian Jews and non-Jews.
