“…From earlier studies it is known that bringing diverse social groups together in mixed neighbourhoods does not automatically result in intensive interaction or networking. Blokland and van Eijk (2010), for example, have argued that 'living in the proximity of other income groups is in itself insufficient to overcome racial, ethnic and class divides in social networks' (p. 313) (see also Weck and Hanhörster, 2015). In this volume, however, Hanhörster and Weck take a more nuanced position.…”

“…Neighbourhood characteristics are more important for parents with children living at home (Gould Ellen, 2000). Households with children spend more time within the neighbourhood, therefore they are more affected by neighbourhood amenities and the population composition of their neighbours (Weck & Hanhörster, 2015). Secondly, having children makes parents more conscious of neighbourhood characteristics including school quality (Boterman, 2013) and safety (Permentier et al, 2011).…”

a department of sociology, utrecht university, utrecht, the netherlands; b otB-Research for the Built environment, delft university of technology, delft, the netherlands ABSTRACT Residential satisfaction is a key variable in understanding residential mobility. Many researchers have studied the individual level and neighbourhood level determinants of satisfaction, however, very few have studied which neighbourhood characteristics affect satisfaction for whom. In this paper, ordered logit models are estimated, explaining satisfaction from neighbourhood characteristics, personal characteristics and interactions. These interactions test whether neighbourhood characteristics have similar effects on satisfaction for all individuals, or whether individual characteristics affect the size and direction of these effects. Satisfaction is found to be less affected by the share of ethnic minorities for ethnic minorities than for natives, because minorities are more satisfied in neighbourhoods with higher shares of their own ethnic group. Neighbourhood characteristics are found to have a stronger effect on satisfaction for owner-occupiers and parents with children than for others, however the impact of neighbourhood ethnic composition does not vary with tenure or household type.

“…The dimension demography aims to capture the population composition of cities (Ali et al, 2009;Mercer, 2017;Morais & Camanho, 2011). Cities with a higher proportion of families with children show to be inclusive by avoiding gentrification (Hochstenbach & Musterd, 2017) and signal high QoL as this type of families are more affected by the characteristics of the place in which they live (Weck & Hanhörster, 2015).…”

This study compares the quality of life (QoL) of cities that lost population with that of cities that gained population. A unique dataset composed of observations for 11 dimensions of QoL for all mainland Portuguese cities is used. By employing a non‐parametric approach (data envelopment analysis), and by using a Malmquist‐type index, this study identifies differences in QoL between the group of cities that lost population and the group of cities that gained population, as well as differences within each group. Despite the heterogeneity in cities that shrunk, this group presents, on average, higher QoL than cities that have grown.
