“…Over time, differences in preferences and purchasing power have created a residential mosaic that is stratified by both class and race (Friedman 2011;South et al 2005). It is within this mosaic that the choices of households are made, in turn reinforcing or reconstructing the mosaic as the choices are executed.…”

“…There is already a substantial literature examining moves out of deprived areas (South and Crowder 1997;South et al 2005;Quillian 2003), as well as churning and mobility processes across deprived neighbourhoods (Robson et al 2008). However until recently, much less attention has been directed towards the entire spectrum of neighbourhoods that households enter, reside within and subsequently exit.…”

This paper examines the nature and extent of socio-spatial mobility in Great Britain. In contrast with previous studies, we investigate the entire spectrum of moves within and across the hierarchical structure of neighbourhoods. We use data from the British Household Panel Survey to trace moves between neighbourhoods defined using the Indices of Multiple Deprivation. We define upward socio-spatial mobility as moving to neighbourhoods with greater levels of advantage (lower levels of deprivation), and downward socio-spatial mobility as the shift to less advantaged neighbourhoods. As expected, the results show that there are strong associations between origin and destination neighbourhood types. We find that education and income play critical roles in the ability of individuals to make neighbourhood gains when they move. An important finding of the research is the way in which the housing market structurally conditions socio-spatial mobility. In the UK and probably more broadly, the opportunity to move to socially advantaged places is highly stratified by housing tenure.

“…Although minority groups in general are less able to translate their economic attainment or neighborhood preferences into higher quality neighborhoods, studies consistently show that Latino households are better equipped to do so than African American residents (Alba et al 2000;South et al 2005). Research also continues to show that African Americans are still discriminated against in the housing market (Turner et al 2002;Turner and Ross 2003) and remain more isolated from non-Latino white communities (Charles 2003) than any other minority group regardless of socioeconomic status (Iceland and Wilkes 2006).…”

Violent Crime, Residential Instability and Mobility: Does the Relationship Differ in Minority Neighborhoods?

This study examines the reciprocal relationship between violent crime and residential stability in neighborhoods. We test whether the form of stability matters by comparing two different measures of stability: a traditional index of residential stability and a novel approach focusing specifically on the stability of homeowners. We also examine whether the racial/ethnic composition of the neighborhood in which this stability occurs affects the instability-violent crime relationship. To test the simultaneous relationship between residential mobility and crime we estimate a dual multivariate latent curve model of the change in the violent crime rate and the change in the rate of home sales while controlling for neighborhood socioeconomic and demographic characteristics using data from Los Angeles between 1992 and 1997. Results indicate that the initial level of violent crime increases the trajectory of residential instability in subsequent years, whether the instability is measured as homeowner turnover specifically, or based on an index of all residents. However, the effect of instability on violent crime is only apparent when measuring instability based on an index of general residential turnover and not when including the presence of owners in this measure, or when measuring it based on homeowner turnover. We consistently find that stable highly Latino communities exhibit a protective effect against violence.

“…A related question is whether households can escape these disadvantaged neighborhoods (Bailey and Livingston, 2008). Related to these studies are those that examine how ethnicity plays a role in the decisions to move and the decisions to stay (Crowder et al, 2012;Finney and Jivraj, 2013;South et al, 2005South et al, , 2011.…”

Residential mobility in context: Interpreting behavior in the housing market

Residential mobility is the process whereby individuals and households adjust their locations in cities. These moves, in the aggregate, change neighborhoods as well as providing specific housing outcomes for households and families as a result of the move. The literature on residential change has evolved from cross-sectional studies of family structure and their housing circumstances, to life course analyses of the motivations for moving, the contexts in which the moves occur, and the intersection of life course change and housing choice. The combined work of demographers, geographers, economists and sociologists has provided a much clearer and more nuanced understanding of behavior in the housing market than was possible with cross-sectional analyses. This paper reviews the evolution of life course approaches to residential mobility and discusses the current state of the research literature. Keywords: mobility; life course; housing markets; neighborhoods; residential sorting * Some of the material in this paper was originally prepared for a seminar on housing hosted Resumen. La movilidad residencial en su contexto: interpretar el comportamiento en el mercado residencialLa movilidad residencial es el proceso por el cual los individuos y hogares ajustan su localización en la ciudad. Estos cambios, de manera agregada, transforman los barrios al tiempo que producen efectos específicos sobre los hogares y las familias. La literatura sobre cambios de residencia ha evolucionado desde los planteamientos transversales sobre la estructura familiar y las condiciones de su domicilio hacia análisis desde la perspectiva del curso vital de las razones para mudarse, los contextos en que ocurren los cambios, y la intersección de los cambios vitales y la elección residencial. El trabajo combinado de demógrafos, geógrafos, economistas y sociólogos ha proporcionado una comprensión más clara y matizada de lo que era posible con análisis transversales. Este artículo revisa la evolución de los acercamientos a la movilidad residencial desde el curso vital, y debate el estado de la cuestión en la literatura de investigación.
