“…For example, the finding that housing price levels in the U.S. are most satisfactorily predicted by the level of solar radiation (Stutz and Kartman 1982) does not identify the causal process that lies between this measure of environmental amenity and the housing market: the correlation might be spurious.

Within the rapidly expanding literature on inner-city revitalization (or gentrification), there has been no attempt to assess in a comparative and systematic manner a range of explanations that have emerged from studies of single cities or even single neighborhoods. Four major explanations of gentrification are reviewed here and then made operational in a correlation and regression analysis of inner-city gentrification in the Canadian urban system between 1971 and 1981. Several of the posited explanations are not supported. Economic and urban amenity factors perform most strongly in the analysis, but demographic and housing factors have less effect. I develop an integrated model and discuss its theoretical implications, including its consistency with staple theory and the interrelatedness demonstrated between housing and labor markets.

“…These have been shown in recent studies to be adversely affecting the life chances of urban blacks, particularly those residing in the nations' largest metropolitan communities (Brinkley-Carter 1979;Wilson 1978Wilson , 1987Farley and Allen 1987;Sampson 1987;Braddock and McPartland 1987;Lichter 1988). These macrolevel forces include: structural shifts in metropolitan economies (Bluestone and Harrison 1982;Scott 1988;Kasarda 1989), the entry of large numbers of women and disadvantaged immigrants into the metropolitan labor market-the so-called "labor surplus" hypothesis (Levy 1987), and the housing aff ordability crisis and other newly emerging constraints in the metropolitan housing market in the post-I970 period (Stutz and Kartman 1982;Adams 1988). The second perspective should focus in greater detail, perhaps via the use of social surveys, on demographic and economic forces operating at the micro-or individual household level.…”

We analyze relationships between migration and household structure through an examination of the outmigration component of the metropolitan 10s Angeles black migration system. Using data from the 1980 U.S. Census Public Use Microdata Samples, which allow direct observation of both individuals and the households in which they live, we identify spatial patterns of outmigration, link those patterns to longer-term black population redistribution processes affecting 10s Angeles, explicate the links between kinship and household factors and the evolving spatial patterns of migration, analyze the extent to which household change accompanies migration, and identify the range of household situations in which 10s Angeles outmigrants find themselves, specifically the role of household factors in the migration process.The spatial patterns of outmigration from 10s Angeles varied significantly according to migrant and household type. Primary and repeat migrants participated in an independent migrant system, establishing intact traditional households in metropolitan spillover communities. The returnees participated in either of two migration systems: a bipolar system focusing primarily on the heartland (five southcentral states), the region which historically supplied the largest number of migrants to 10s Angeles, or a polygonal system, characterized by returnees joining nonmigrants and migrants from other states in Midwestern households. Kinship systems were especially important in the destination selection decisions of single and divorced, separated, or widowed women with children. Return migrants were most likely to experience household composition change with migration. These findings explicate the nature and complexity of the outmigration process and underscore the need for future models of migration to explicitly incorporate household dynamics.

“…He argued that these forces are what drives the house price changes and are not relatively due to population growth rates and construction costs. In the context of this paper, when younger working households has the tendency to 'leave the nest' means there is greater demand of housing (Stutz and Kartman, 1982). The opportunist of the housing market who is either investors or speculators will send the house price upwards due to this increasing demand from younger households.…”

Young households are facing various challenges especially as a new entrant in the employment sector. More specifically, there have been worries that young households may not be able to afford a house due to the increasing house prices and cost of living. The aim of this paper is to ascertain the housing affordability problems among young households in Greater Kuala Lumpur. The aim is supported with two objectives which are to identify the housing affordability problems among young households and to discuss the relationship between the identified problems. This paper adopts the case study method and Greater Kuala Lumpur is chosen as the location of the case study. This paper concludes that the main problem faced by young households is limited supply of affordable housing in the market. Even more, the perceived affordable housing in the market is open to all income groups which suggest that young households has to compete with other income groups in the market for homeownership.
