Abstract
The authors extend their earlier study of the impact of the council housing system on migration in the United Kingdom. In particular they examine the hypothesis that individuals differ in various unobserved ways and that personal characteristics that result in individuals becoming tenants may also discourage migration. Data are from the General Household Survey for 1973 and 1974 and pertain to both migration intentions and past migration. The extent to which house tenure and other household characteristics affect the probability that a household embarking on a housing search will be successful in realizing its migration intentions is explored. In addition the importance of both individual and aggregate local unemployment in determining migration intentions is discussed.
