Population Change and Metro-Nonmetro Housing Quality Differences

Abstract

This study investigates the degree to which population change and other characteristics of U.S. counties can be used to explain county-to-county and metro-nonmetro differences in housing quality. Stepwise multiple regression analysis is used. During the 1960's, the greatest drop in occupancy of homes lacking complete plumbing facilities was in nonmetro counties experiencing rapid population declines. However, measures of a county's housing quality--plumbing, crowding, value, rent, and tenure--were more closely tied to per capita income than to population change. County characteristics, including population change, were able to explain most of the metro-nonmetro differences in quality measures
