Abstract

A major objective of housing research continues to be the assessment of housing satisfaction. In the present study, housing satisfaction as a multidimensional construct is examined using data from a sample of rural residents of conventional homes (N=105), mobile homes (N=90), and apartments (N=110). Through factor analysis of a set of 61 housing satisfaction items, six satisfaction factors are identified. Comparison of factor scores by housing type (via analysis of variance) indicates that there are differences in housing satisfaction. The differences emphasize the need to consider specific measures of housing satisfaction which can provide a better understanding of why residents are satisfied or dissatisfied with their housing situation.
