“…For example, the finding that reports of having more space in housing were associated with moving to neighborhoods with fewer Hispanic households is somewhat confounding. While the exact mechanism behind this relationship is not understood, it is consistent with the idea that the characteristics of where one lives can determine residential satisfaction (Baum et al, 2010;Boschman, 2018;Swaroop & Krysan, 2011).…”

Moving On initiatives (MOIs) transition stable permanent supportive housing (PSH) residents into mainstream housing without embedded services. While this approach frees up PSH for homeless individuals in need, open questions remain regarding MOI recipients' long-term outcomes. This exploratory study examines how housing environment and residential satisfaction, potential predictors of housing retention, change from PSH to mainstream housing. Subjective assessments of housing and neighborhood quality and residential satisfaction, as well as objective neighborhood-level data, are used to examine housing-related change for New York City MOI recipients. Participants generally moved to less-distressed neighborhoods with lower poverty and crime. Subjective perceptions of some aspects of neighborhood and housing quality also improved post-move. Participants tended to move farther from public transportation but were on average located within one mile of the nearest subway station. Results can be taken as early indicators of the potential benefits of MOIs.

“…Hence, mobility decision is closely linked to the judgement of neighbourhood, community and general satisfaction. By the same token, lack of satisfaction with fluctuating housing values and lower quality schools may cause grave concerns among the residents causing them to leave the neighbourhoods (Boschman, 2018).…”

“…The owners who possess the property would feel more at home residing in their own territory; more so than the renters who are just renting and borrowing the property for an interval. As such, the owners would have a stronger effect on neighbourhood characteristics (Boschman, 2018); while the renters might feel more insecure and uncertain about their main shelter, which may lead them to leave anyway. Life cycle may be a less significant factor on the shift from renting to owning (Sissons & Houston, 2018) because tenants prefer to relocate in relatively cheaper areas for the sake of saving to eventually own a house.…”

Most people have experienced a crucial moment of decision during their life course, that of whether to stay over or to move out of their house and neighbourhood. Residential mobility refers to mobility thoughts and intentions, as well as the actual moving behaviours among the residents, which are often triggered by feelings of dissatisfactions, state of disequilibrium or mismatch between the present housing needs and consumption, and the desired housing preferences. Residential mobility is postulated to be influenced by many factors, notably family life cycle (infant to elderly phase), tenure ownership (house owner or renter), housing profile (dwelling features) and quality of the neighbourhood. There is limited study on tenure ownership and factors of neighbourhood quality that can affect mobility decision and residential mobility behaviour. Hence, this study examines mobility decisions based on tenure ownership and neighbourhood quality including physical, social and economic attributes among residents of housing schemes in Penang Island, Malaysia. A questionnaire survey of 717 respondents living in low, medium and high cost housing in the study area revealed that dwelling features, neighbourhood facilities, environment, social interaction and attachment are the major considerations and preferences affecting residential mobility behaviours among residents. The study findings provide insights and guidance on planning for better neighbourhoods to satisfy residents’ needs and enhance quality of life.

“…Hence, residential satisfaction is a key parameter in determining residential mobility (Boschman, 2018;Jiang, Feng, Timmermans, & Li, 2019;Speare, 1974). Unlike previous studies which have focused mainly on determinants of residential satisfaction based on neighbourhood assessments of various physical and social setting (Aulia & Ismail, 2013, 2016Tan, 2016) this study aims to extend the notion of residential satisfaction by establishing linkages between attributes of neighbourhood quality and residential mobility behaviours, with a special focus on Penang Island.…”

Residential mobility refers to adjustments of housing needs made by households in response to changes in family life cycle phases. Households may express dissatisfaction with current housing and neighbourhood environment, relative to their desired needs, characteristics and preferences. Residential mobility involves the actual moving thus implying changes in the neighbourhood composition and structure as the current residents may decide to move out or stay on, while the new residents may move in the neighbourhood. An assessment of the neighbourhood setting can capture residents' views and perceptions of the neighbourhood environment, be it satisfactory or otherwise; and subsequently, residents may decide whether to move out or stay on in the neighbourhood. The paper aims to establish linkages between residents' perceptions of the neighbourhood environment and residential mobility behaviour. Primary data were collected via a questionnaire survey of 589 households in selected neighbourhoods in Penang, Malaysia. Study results show that attributes of neighbourhood environment, neighbourhood interaction and neighbourhood attachment are significantly associated with residential mobility. Residents who expressed satisfaction with their neighbourhood are more likely to stay on, and vice versa. Hence, future housing policy in the country should take into consideration residential mobility behaviours to enhance the neighbourhood quality for the benefits of all residents.
