Abstract
AbstractExisting research explains housing abandonment In the broad context of urban decline or the narrow micro-economics of housing sub-markets. In both cases, abandonment is assumed to be a singular process across a city. In this paper, the neighborhood context of abandonment is examined with the view that abandonment varies with a neighborhood’s historical ecology. Data from the Philadelphia License and Inspection records, the U. S. Census Bureau, Pennsylvania Industrial Directories, and from financial institutions provide evidence linking abandonment to job access, racial transition, mortgage investment and population decline in neighborhoods having different historical and contemporary ecological positions in the city.
