The dynamics of housing deprivation

Influences of population-level factors on suicides in older adults: a national ecological study from Australia

“…Of those factors that were significant for both sexes, it was found that areas with large proportions of tenant household dwellers had higher suicide rates for older persons, especially for older men. These findings are consistent with other studies in most English‐speaking countries, which suggest that housing is one of the most important necessities in people's lives (Burrows and Laflamme, ; Ayala and Navarro, ; Law et al ., ). Those unable to afford a private shelter are more likely to suffer from social disadvantage, have a low income and experience a lack of labour force engagement, all of which are related to a higher risk of suicide in English‐speaking countries (Ayala and Navarro, ; Baum, ).…”

The Duration of Bad Housing and Children's Well-being in Britain

“…Where housing has been considered, it is usually only as one indicator among many contributing to social deprivation more generally (see for example Whelan et al, 2001;Vegeris and Perry, 2003). Nevertheless, there is evidence that poor housing follows different dynamics from those of income poverty and therefore has the potential to exert a distinct influence on well being (Ayala and Navarro, 2007). Studies exploring the effect of changes in housing find some evidence that housing improvements can have a beneficial effect on health, reinforcing the message that housing can impact upon well being (Thomson et al, 2003;Pevalin et.…”

Critical urban areas, deprived areas and neighbourhood effects on health in France

“…Indeed, housing economists demonstrate that towns are continually evolving and that studying a town's economic status is as important as studying its population dynamics; both being factors in understanding the creation of deprived neighbourhoods [56,47]. Assuming that mobility is linked to social networks, this result could be analysed through the relationship between health, housing and social capital [12,[48][49][50].…”
