Abstract

This thesis analyses the association between retail vacancy levels per 1,000 inhabitants and demographic factors in the districts of the Netherlands, with a particular focus on the ageing population. By conducting a multiple linear regression analysis, the findings reveal that a higher proportion of elderly residents (65+) is associated with increased retail vacancy per 1,000 inhabitants, while the youngest age group is associated with lower levels of vacancy. Additionally, areas with higher populations exhibit lower levels of vacancy per 1,000 inhabitants. Furthermore, significant rural-urban and temporal differences (before, during, and after COVID-19) were observed. The association between household income and vacancy proved insignificant.
