The Housing Tenure Adjustments of the Young and the Elderly

Policy Implications

Department of Geography University of Chicago

The housing tenure adjustments of U.S. households which have recently moved are analyzed as a function of the chronological age of the household head and the intra- metropolitan location of the occupied dwelling unit. Emphasized is the tenure adjustment pattern of the elderly population. While elderly movers are more likely than younger movers to vacate owned units, elderly owner-occupants move less frequently, and a high proportion relocate into other owned units, particularly in suburban areas. Discussed are the implications of these tenure adjustments, for the supply of the housing stock available to younger population groups and the residential satisfaction of the elderly population.
