Abstract

Although more and more people choose to live in cities, subjective wellbeing (SWB) is generally lower in large urban areas in the Western world. This article examines to what extent urban-rural differences in SWB are driven by differences in the quality and affordability of housing between the largest cities and periurban and rural areas. Using a Dutch panel database, linking characteristics of housing to SWB, we show that differences in housing tenure, housing and neighbourhood quality and housing affordability can partly explain the urban-rural SWB differential in the Netherlands
