“…Positive aspects of home ownership are the security and stability associated with it (Dupuis and Thorns, 1998;Saunders, 1990), the possibilities to adapt the home to one's preferences (Rohe et al, 2013) and the wealth stored in the home which is available for release when needed (Aurand and Reynolds, 2013). Most previous work has shown that owners have higher SWB than renters (Zumbro, 2014;Rohe and Bassolo, 1997;Rossi and Weber, 1996;however renters had higher SWB in: Oswald et al, 2003).…”

Housing quality is known to be related to subjective well-being (SWB), but much less is known how this relationship varies with national contexts. This study addresses the association between housing tenure and housing quality on the one hand and the SWB of older Europeans on the other, given the differences in housing markets across Europe. Data from the Survey on Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) were used and linear regression models of SWB were estimated for 16 European countries. The findings indicate that being a renter is negatively related to SWB, while having a large house is positively associated with it. The negative effect of being a renter on SWB is small in several countries with accessible and well-regulated rental markets. Moreover, the difference in SWB between older people with a small and a large dwelling is somewhat smaller in countries with a high level of housing quality than in countries with lower housing quality. For each of our housing indicators, however, we also found countries for which the findings deviated from the general pattern. The findings imply that housing-market characteristics matter to how housing relates to SWB and, therefore, that housing-market interventions might affect this relationship.

“…Focusing on in-movement rather than out-mobility, one study found that the higher-income households who are more likely to move into lower income neighborhoods are those who place less emphasis on amenities (Ellen, Horn, and O'Regan 2013). However, there is less evidence regarding housing unit transitions between owner and renter status; research on elderly households found that recent updates in the unit increased the chances of owner occupancy by the new residents (Aurand and Reynolds 2013).…”

An important source of neighborhood change occurs when there is a turnover in the housing unit due to residential mobility and the new residents differ from the prior residents based on socio-demographic characteristics (what we term social distance). Nonetheless, research has typically not asked which characteristics explain transitions with higher social distance based on a number of demographic dimensions. We explore this question using American Housing Survey data from 1985 to 2007, and focus on instances in which the prior household moved out and is replaced by a new household. We focus on three key characteristics for explaining this social distance: the type of housing unit, the age of the housing unit, and the length of residence of the exiting household. We find that transitions in the oldest housing units and for the longest tenured residents result in the greatest amount of social distance between new and prior residents, implying that these transitions are particularly important for fostering neighborhood socio-demographic change. The results imply micro-mechanisms at the household level that might help explain net change at the neighborhood level.

“…Concordance on race and ethnicity is also expected to be high, and given economic inequality between groups, it will be an additional contributor to the stickiness of poverty. Elderly occupants, possibly due to a lack of updating in their units (Aurand and Reynolds 2013), are also expected to have an increased chance of being replaced by lower income in-movers. Housing units that are owner occupied are expected to have a lower chance of transitioning to poor occupants, possibly due to the greater investments in upkeep (Galster 1987).…”

rOB PITINgOLO 576112ANN THE ANNALS OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMYHousing Unit Turnover research-article2015 A number of place-based policies attempt to deconcentrate poverty, yet not enough is known about how the socioeconomic mix of low-income neighborhoods evolves nor the role of residential mobility in this evolution. This study focuses on changes in low-income neighborhoods as they transpire at the micro level of housing unit turnover. Using a unique panel survey of low-income neighborhoods, the study examines how characteristics of previous occupants, housing units, and neighborhoods affect the chances that units will transition into or out of poverty. results show that although turnover rates are high, the poverty status of occupants changes infrequently. Occupant, unit, and neighborhood factors help to explain the changes that do occur. Improving low-income neighborhoods is challenging because the poverty status of occupants tends not to change, but there are aspects of the built and social environment that can affect occupancy transitions in ways that reduce poverty concentration.
