Abstract
AbstractThe purpose of this study was to determine a causal relationship between constraints, conditions, satisfactions related to housing, and propensity to move at retirement using Morris and Winter’s Housing Adjustment Model. Data were analyzed for 1,175 preretirees in Oregon and Utah. Path analysis revealed that propensity to move was directly influenced (p<.05) by seven constraints -- age, level of education, gender, marital status, health status, location, and income sources after retirement -- and four intervening variables -- tenure, city condition, neighborhood satisfaction, and housing satisfaction. Suggesting a better understanding of retirement housing decisions could better equip communities as they facilitate to maximize the possibility of suitable, affordable, and supportive housing environments for the largest number of elderly people.
