Does gentrification constrain housing markets for low-income households? Evidence from household residential mobility in the New York and San Francisco metropolitan areas

This research investigates whether gentrification restricts housing markets for low-income households by focussing on the New York and San Francisco metropolitan areas from 2013 to 2019. We investigate whether gentrification correlates with increased out-migration and decreased in-migration of low-income residents in affected neighbourhoods, and how it shapes where out-movers relocate. We leverage a unique longitudinal dataset to compare two extreme regional contexts characterised by significant affordability challenges and intense housing regulations. By doing so, this study aims to provide a more refined understanding of gentrification and residential mobility dynamics, avoiding broad generalisations or a narrow focus on single metropolitan contexts. The findings indicate that in both regions, low-income households are indeed more likely to leave gentrifying neighbourhoods compared to non-gentrifying ones and less likely to enter them compared to higher-income households. The study also finds mixed results regarding the subsequent residential situations of these low-income movers. Based on these findings, we provide implications for research and policies oriented towards improving housing and neighbourhood access for low-income households in rapidly changing urban areas.

Residential Mobility Behaviour amongst Households within Enugu Metropolis: does a change in household income matter?

Residential mobility behaviour amongst urban households is indicative of households’ response to the need to optimize housing consumption. Social and economic considerations play a significant role and can either encourage or inhibit residential mobility. This research investigated the influence of variations in household income on household residential mobility behaviour in Enugu metropolis between 2007 and 2017. Survey research design was adopted and a sample of 865 households was randomly drawn from the three municipalities which make up Enugu metropolis. Observation checklists were used to collect data on housing conditions while questionnaires were used to elicit responses from households on their demographic data and residential mobility behaviour. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize household demographic data and analyse household residential mobility behaviour. Findings revealed that changes in household income, though negligible for the majority, translated to an 8% increase in households’ demand for flats. Consequently, variations in household income affected the ability of households to optimize housing consumption.

Negative home equity reduces household mobility: Evidence from administrative data

We investigate the impact of negative home equity on household residential mobility. We employ a unique administrative panel data set covering nearly the whole population of Dutch homeowners. The data contains a large set of personal characteristics of more than 2,000,000 homeowners. We identify the effect of negative home equity on mobility by exploiting the quasi-exogenous regional variation of the unanticipated housing market shock during 2008–2012, in which real house prices declined by 25%. Households plunging into negative home equity due to unanticipated declining house prices are 21% less likely to move compared to households upholding positive home equity.

Temporal dynamics of racial segregation in the United States: An analysis of household residential mobility

ABSTRACTThis is the first study of temporal segregation dynamics based on the full analysis of household residential mobility, including non-moves and intra- and inter-neighborhood moves in the United States over the last four decades (1971–2009). Analysis results demonstrate the decreases in both white flight and white avoidance over time. Whites stayed shorter in black-white neighborhoods than in predominantly white neighborhoods until 1990, but this has been no longer significant during the past two decades. The tendency that whites are less likely to move to racially homogeneous neighborhoods than moving within or across racially mixed neighborhoods was significant only after 1990. These two results explain the aggregate-level segregation trend that black-white neighborhoods have experienced the most significant drop in the probability of transitioning into racially homogeneous neighborhoods and that the share of racially mixed neighborhoods has significantly increased over time. Analysis results further suggest that increasing racial diversity and the reduction in racial segregation in metropolitan areas have likely contributed to changes in whites’ residential mobility.

Modelling the Spatial Nature of Household Residential Mobility within Municipalities in Colombia

In this paper, we examine household residential mobility within Colombian municipalities and determine whether the factors that trigger residential movement vary across the country. Using Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) and detailed data from the 2005 Census for all municipalities in Colombia, our analysis takes into account the spatial variation in the relationship between household residential mobility and the associated housing, socioeconomic and environmental factors derived from theory and previous empirical research. Our findings demonstrate that household residential mobility is strongly and positively associated with living conditions, age and income, and negatively associated with homeownership and household composition within municipalities. The comparison of global (Ordinary Least Squares regression) and local (GWR) parameter estimates reveals the presence of a non-stationary effect on household residential mobility for the predictor variables considered, and highlights the importance of local variation of the relationships. In addition to contributing to the debate on the dynamics of residential mobility in Colombia, the study results have implications for effective policy-making with regard to urban expansion and settlement of various groups.

A Longitudinal Study of Migration Propensities for Mixed-Ethnic Unions in England and Wales

Most studies investigating residential segregation of ethnic minorities ignore the fact that the majority of adults live in couples. In recent years there has been a growth in the number of mixed-ethnic unions that involve a minority member and a white member. To our knowledge, hardly any research has been undertaken to explicitly examine whether the ethnic mix within households has an impact on the residential mobility of households in terms of the ethnic mix of destination neighbourhoods. Our study addresses this research gap and examines the tendencies of mobility among mixed-ethnic unions in comparison with their co-ethnic peers. We used data from the Longitudinal Study for England and Wales. Our statistical analysis supports the spatial assimilation theory; ethnic minorities move towards less deprived areas and to a lesser extent also towards less ethnically concentrated areas. However, the types of destination neighbourhood of minority people living in mixed-ethnic unions varied greatly with the ethnicity of the ethnic minority partner.

인터넷 부동산거래정보 발달에 따른 탄소저감효과 분석

The development of the information on the internet brought a lot of changes in the real estate market. Because the real estate has local distinctiveness and individuality household who want to move must to visit place for housing information. But now household use internet real estate information at every decision-moving step and that is able to reduce not only the cost of real estate information but also social benefit like <TEX>$CO_2$</TEX> emissions reduction effect. In this study, I analyzed the effect of <TEX>$CO_2$</TEX> emissions reduction with Seoul household residential mobility data when household take informations from internet real estate site. As increasing a single family who is good at internet service, the effect of <TEX>$CO_2$</TEX> reduction from the development of the Internet real estate information has more increased.

De la mobilité résidentielle à la recomposition des espaces de la vie quotidienne

Rares sont les recherches qui soulevent les interactions entre formes urbaines et pratiques de mobilite quotidienne en y integrant les parcours de mobilite residentielle des menages. L'objet de cet article est ainsi de comprendre les logiques geographiques des individus qui construisent leur espace d'activites quotidiennes en fonction, notamment, de leurs caracteristiques sociodemographiques et de leurs demenagements successifs se deroulant au sein d'un meme bassin de vie, celui du Luxembourg et de ses regions frontalieres. En faisant appel au concept de capital spatial, les analyses desagregees permettent de mettre en evidence des logiques comportementales qui temoignent d'une influence de la longueur des parcours residentiels sur la dispersion des espaces de la vie quotidienne, independamment des autres parametres.

ESCAPING CRIME: THE EFFECTS OF DIRECT AND INDIRECT VICTIMIZATION ON MOVING*

This article investigates the impact of criminal victimization on household residential mobility. Existing research finds that direct experiences with crime influence mobility decisions, such that persons who suffer offenses near their homes are more likely to move. The current study extends this line of inquiry to consider whether indirect victimization that involves neighbors also stimulates moving. The analysis uses the National Crime Survey to estimate multilevel models that incorporate data from individual households and their spatially proximate neighbors. The results show that the link between direct victimization and moving continues to hold after controlling for neighborhood context. Indirect property victimization also leads to moving, with effects about equal in size to those of direct victimization. In contrast, no evidence is found that violent victimization that occurs in neighboring homes influences mobility, probably because most of these events are nonstranger violence that provokes less anxiety for neighbors.

Accumulations research in the Southwest United States: middle-range theory for big-picture problems

Accumulations research examines three variables fundamental to understanding the archaeological record: time, population size, and the accumulation of artifacts. This type of research has been conducted for over a century, and remains productive because it addresses both basic archaeological problems and questions of broad anthropological interest. This paper illustrates the principles and benefits of accumulations research by analyzing the accumulation of cooking potsherds at ancestral Pueblo archaeological sites in south-western Colorado. Evidence is summarized to demonstrate that cooking potsherds are an especially good artifact category for accumulations research. Then, an annual accumulation rate for broken cooking potsherds is developed and used to analyze the occupation spans of nineteen small habitation sites. Finally, the relationship between midden accumulations and occupation span is used to analyze the occupational history of a large village. Throughout, accumulations research is used to tie together historical patterns in site structure, agricultural intensification, household residential mobility, land tenure, village formation, and political development.

A Systematic Review on Research Methodologies for Residential Mobility

In this paper, we review possible research methodologies to analyze household residential mobility. Mobility occurs mainly due to the need of housing adjustments. Households compare the levels of utility each alternatives provides and select the alternative providing the highest level. Considering that mobility has discrete nature and is derived from consumer utility maximization problem, appropriate empirical methods should reflect these characterisitcs. Discrete choice models are well suited in empirical analyses and proved as consistent with consumer theory. After introducing a simple theoretical framework for residential mobility decisions, we examined discrete choice models with four broad categories; binary choice models (logit or probit), multinomial logit models and conditional logit models, nested logit models, and dynamic discrete choice models, briefly reviewed characteristics and estimation procedures of each model, and discussed the results of existing empirical studies. Based on the review of existing studies and research trends, there has been increasing interest in dynamic discrete choice models because mobility and related housing decisions have dynamic aspects.

Residential mobility of households in the reduction stage in the Netherlands.

The residential mobility of households in the reduction stage in the Netherlands is examined. Such households are defined as those having a female head aged 47 years or older. "In this article it is shown that the propensity to move demonstrated by these households is strongly influenced by tenure of the (previous) dwelling, quality of that dwelling, and the age of the head of the household. Housing choice of moving households is mainly related to tenure of the (previous) dwelling, household composition, and the characteristics of the housing market."

Household factors and discrimination in housing consumption: Further developments in the analysis of tenure choice within housing careers

The decision of households regarding housing consumption should be viewed as decisions within an overall housing career. A model of household residential mobility is derived which may be empirically investigated through a generalisation of competing risk analysis. It is explained how the effects of omitted variables may be dealt with by means of a non-parametric characterisation of their multivariate distribution within a marginal likelihood framework. The problem of initial conditions is discussed in relation to the design of the analysis. The model is applied to the residence histories of a sample of households from the Michigan Panel Study of Income Dynamics

Influence of household and area characteristics on the residential mobility of households

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationships between the residential (or intra-urban) mobility of households and variables describing the households and the residential areas where the households are located. The paper is based on data from a more comprehensive study on migration and residential mobility in the Helsinki [Finland] metropolitan area.... Individual-level records from the 1980 census and records on all moves to from or within the area in 1981 were linked. Variables considered include phase of life cycle discrepancy between housing needs and housing situation economic resources of households percentage of high-income households in the residential areas and physical character of the areas. A linear logistic model is used to analyze the importance of the variables and their interactions. It is concluded that household characteristics are much more important determinants of residential mobility than area characteristics. (EXCERPT)

The Welfare Economics of Local Public Spending: An Empirical Approach

It has been suggested that spillover effects between politically autonomous local governments are common, and that they present a welfare problem for the community as a whole. A local government might under-invest in roads, for example, because they are used by non-residents, or in schools because school-leavers move out of the area. Other researchers, and many consumers, have found fault in the mechanisms of public choice or have claimed that electorates have negligible effective control over the local bureaucracy as far as output is concerned. There might well be a serious local welfare problem even without spillovers. This paper offers an empirically operational methodology for the welfare economic evaluation of local public spending. The setting is the system of local government in Sydney, Australia, although the theoretical approach can be readily adapted to other settings. The questions addressed are: (a) Is there evidence of positive spillovers, and do they imply welf arerelevant externalities when prices, quantities and locations have adjusted? (b) Is an increase in local spending desirable for local residents? (c) On balance, what can be said about the effect on aggregate welfare of a local fiscal expansion? The key to the theoretical approach and its testable implications is the idea that the residential mobility of households between local governments reveals preferences over local public goods. This can be traced to Tiebout (1956), although the present model is appropriate to a considerably more general setting in which restrictions on mobility, spillover effects and local government inefficiencies are allowed. The central problem for the present analysis is to infer consumer preferences over local fiscal policies from observed differences in the rates of population growth between local governments. As far as spillovers are concerned it is useful to make the following distinction from the outset. Direct externalities are said to be present when, for given consumptions of non-government goods and given residential locations, an individual in one local political jurisdiction is not indifferent between alternative expenditures by another government. Mobility externalities result when the welfare of a local resident is affected
