The location of owners and renters in the city

Article Abstract:

A model is presented and tested of the tie between housing tenure forms, such as renting and homeownership, and where in a city people choose to locate. Results confirm something which can be observed casually: renters tend to locate closer to city centers than do homeowners. It is possible that this regular pattern reflects basic aspects of the institutional relationships involved in the two systems of property rights. It is assumed here, however, that owner-occupiers require more privacy than renters do; and the tie between tenure and location in the city follows from this assumption.

Modal choice, location demand, and income

Article Abstract:

The interrelationships among housing selection, number of houses within a community, and work trip planning are examined in research that employs a monocentric city model. The research shows that the speed and costs of transportation options determine mode, and that location of housing seems to be affected by commuting considerations. The results of this research are also compared to models of income levels. The research suggests that housing prices reflecting location considerations should be accounted for in mode demand equations.

Race, immigrant status, and housing tenure choice

Article Abstract:

This article evaluates housing tenure choice in the metropolitan Los Angeles area among racial and ethnic minorities from 1980-1990. Results show that differences in income, education and immgrant status explain the homeownership gap between whites and Latinos; however, Asians are as likely to own homes as whites are, and this is not effected by immigrant status; the homerownership gap among whites and blacks is also sizable.
