Abstract
What is the impact of housing adequacy on recent home modification, controlling for demographics and housing characteristics? This study examined home modifications of households with a member aged 65 or older, focusing on relationships between selected demographic and housing variables and home modification. Binary logistic regression analysis was used on a sample of 6,627 homeowners from the newly released 2019 American Housing Survey (AHS) dataset. This analysis of the 2019 AHS data is important because of its pre-COVID pandemic era perspective in terms of home modifications and older adults aging in place. Results showed that recent housing modifications were significantly affected by select demographic and housing factors.
