“…Several studies (e.g. Permentier et al, 2009;Tsafti & Cohen, 2003) have shown a relationship between perceived neighbourhood (or town) reputation and intention to move, though this is moderated by place attachment-especially having family living nearby. Indeed, in his study of 12 Danish estates, Skifter-Andersen (2008) reported that the perception of a poor area reputation was the most important influence on plans to move away.…”

“…Using Hirschman's model for responses to service dissatisfaction, Permentier et al (2007) argue that residential mobility-'the exit option'-is the most 'clear-cut' response to a negative neighbourhood reputation because of the negative effects on a person's status, self-image and well-being (Permentier et al, 2009). Several studies (e.g.…”

This paper reviews work in several disciplines to distinguish between image, reputation and stigma. It also shows that there has been little research on the process by which area reputations are established and sustained through transmission processes. This paper reports on research into the portrayal of two social housing estates in the printed media over an extended period of time (14 years). It was found that negative and mixed coverage of the estates dominated, with the amount of positive coverage being very small. By examining the way in which dominant themes were used by newspapers in respect of each estate, questions are raised about the mode of operation of the press and the communities' collective right to challenge this. By identifying the way regeneration stories are covered and the nature of the content of positive stories, lessons are drawn for programmes of area transformation. The need for social regeneration activities is identified as an important ingredient for changing deprived-area reputations.

“…The primary driver of these decisions is household dissatisfaction with the existing dwelling in relation to household preferences and needs (Brown and Moore, 1970;Clark and Dieleman, 1996). The role of neighbourhood characteristics in mobility decisions has received less attention, but the body of literature which includes neighbourhood characteristics in models of residential mobility is growing (Clark and Ledwith, 2006;Feijten and van Ham, 2009;Kearns and Parkes, 2003;Lee et al, 1994;Permentier et al, 2009;van Ham and Clark, 2009;van Ham and Feijten, 2008). Studies investigating the second step in the decision making process (the choice of destination) have mainly focused on dwelling types (tenure, size, price) and less attention has been paid to location and neighbourhood characteristics.…”

“…There is large variation in the types (and quality) of dwellings available between neighbourhoods, making the supply of housing in different neighbourhoods a key explanatory factor behind neighbourhood sorting. However, there are clear indications in the literature that households also take neighbourhood attributes such as reputation, status, population composition, and location into consideration when choosing a dwelling (see for example Michelson, 1977;Permentier et al, 2009).…”

Abstract. Although we know a lot about why households choose certain dwellings, we know relatively little about the mechanisms behind their choice of neighbourhood. Most studies of neighbourhood choice only focus on one or two dimensions of neighbourhoods: typically poverty and ethnicity. This paper argues that neighbourhoods have multiple dimensions and that models of neighbourhood choice should take these dimensions into account. We propose the use of a conditional logit model. From this approach we can gain insight into the interaction between individual and neighbourhood characteristics which lead to the choice of a particular neighbourhood over alternative destinations. We use Swedish register data to model neighbourhood choice for all households which moved in the city of Uppsala between 1997 and 2006. Our results show that neighbourhood sorting is a highly structured process where households are very likely to choose neighbourhoods where the neighbourhood population matches their own characteristics. We find that income is the most important driver of the sorting process, although ethnicity and other demographic and socio-economic characteristics play important roles as well.

“…For other mechanisms such as stigmatisation or the attitudes of 'local market actors' (for instance, employers) to certain neighbourhoods a larger spatial scale is requiredsomething that is akin to a recognisable 'neighbourhood' in the mind of those external to the neighbourhood. In this case neighbourhood reputation (see Permentier et al 2009) and the perceived qualities of the residents could be important with regard to an individual's occupational success.…”

Occupational Mobility and Living in Deprived Neighbourhoods: Housing Tenure Differences in ‘Neighbourhood Effects’

The literature on neighbourhood effects suggests that the lack of social mobility of some groups has a spatial dimension. It is thought that those living in the most deprived neighbourhoods are the least likely to achieve upward mobility because of a range of negative neighbourhood effects. Most studies investigating such effects only identify correlations between individual outcomes and their residential environment and do not take into account that selection into neighbourhoods is a non-random mechanism. This paper investigates occupational mobility between 1991 and 2001 for those who were employed in Scotland in 1991 by using unique longitudinal data from Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS). We add to the existing literature by investigating neighbourhood effects on occupational mobility separately for social renters, private renters and home owners. We find that 'neighbourhood effects' are strongest for home owners, which is an unexpected finding. We argue that the correlation between characteristics of the residential environment and occupational mobility can at least partially be explained by selection effects: homeowners with the least resources, who are least likely to experience upward mobility, are also most likely to sort into the most deprived neighbourhoods. Social housing tenants experience less selective sorting across neighbourhoods as other than market forces are responsible for the neighbourhood sorting mechanism.
