Home Ownership
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Both
CPS mothers and fathers were more likely to own their home than DoD
parents (Table 7.3). On the other hand, CPS parents were less likely
than DoD parents to have housing arrangements other than buying or
renting. This arrangement was very rare among CPS parents, but occurred
for roughly 5 percent of DoD parents. Although there were no differences
between the parents of Active and Reserve Component accessions, within
the active duty Service categories both mothers and fathers of Air
Force recruits were more likely to own their homes than parents in
the other Services. Finally, both DoD and CPS fathers were more likely
to own their homes than mothers, who were more likely to rent.
