“…We found that affluent households are significantly more likely than middle‐income households to be owner occupiers, and among all households and owner‐occupier households, affluent households are more likely than middle‐income households to live in larger homes and more recently built homes. Among owner occupiers, the average housing values for higher‐income groups are significantly higher than the middle‐income group, which is consistent with Dwyer's research in the U.S. (2008, 2009). Of particular note is that for the average size of homes and the average housing value, there is a significant increase in these values between households in the 80th to 90th and 90th to 100th percentile income groups, relative to middle‐income households, revealing that extremely affluent households have significantly better homes even better than other affluent groups.…”

“…A final limitation with this paper is that it only studies income-based disparities in housing outcomes in just one country. While our results are similar to findings from U.S. based research (Dwyer 2008(Dwyer , 2009, expanding the examination of such differences to a larger number of countries would be beneficial in assessing whether middle-income households are disadvantaged in a broader range of countries, particularly at varying levels of income and wealth inequality and where the middle-income segment of the population is expanding (Kharas 2017).…”

Housing Outcomes in Turkey: How Do Middle–Income Households Fare?

Despite the doubling in size of the middle class and the significant housing increase in Turkey, little research has examined housing outcomes of middleincome households, particularly relative to affluent households. The housing increase and 2007 Mortgage Law could have reduced housing differences between middle-income and affluent households, but the rise in gated communities could have increased these differences. Using data from Turkey's 2012 Household and Budget Survey, we find that middle-income households are significantly less likely than affluent households to own their homes and live in larger homes, and among owner-occupiers, in homes of higher value. Less pronounced differences are found in their residence in newer homes. Fewer differences in housing outcomes exist between middle-and lower-income households, particularly among owner-occupiers. These results suggest that the most affluent households, rather than the poorest households, are likely isolating themselves from other households, thereby affecting the future well-being of middle-income households.

“…Critiques of quantitative approaches to understanding population change have questioned the assumptions researchers make when assigning causation to observed relationships in the data and the spatial homogeneity of observed trends. However, those limitations acknowledged, quantitative data can provide useful and appropriate information if the research question takes into account the limitations of the research approach (see for example, Dwyer, 2008).…”
