Abstract

Suburban settlements are in the process of quick change in the major metropolitan areas in central and eastern European transition countries, losing their agricultural character and developing into modern residential areas. New housing construction is the most visible manifestation of those changes. The aim of the current paper is to examine the characteristics of the inhabitants of new suburban settlements in the Tallinn metropolitan area, Estonia. The data are from the Household Panel Survey (2004) and New Residential Areas Survey (2006). The main results of the study indicate that people younger than 35 who are well educated and earn considerably higher than average incomes have the highest odds of living in the new suburban settlements. Having a child increases the probability of living in the newest suburban houses built in the 2000s
