Abstract
Several social scientists argue that the subjective experience of crowding is conceptually distinct from population density. The present field research empirically supports this reasoning and suggests that crowding intervenes between density, on the one hand, and resi dential satisfaction and psychological strain on the other, and that the relationship between density and crowding is nonlinear. That is, a positive relationship between household density and its direct "effects" appears only with moderately high and higher levels of density. Data were obtained from interviews with residents of public housing projects in two middle-sized Canadian cities.
