title: Households, Housing Tenure, and Living Space Compared Between Different Regions and Housing Markets in the Netherlands

abstract: A major supply shortage in housing has led to large differences between housing market conditions in certain areas in the Netherlands. This may have caused a mismatch between the housing needs of household types, tenure, and living space. The research aimed to investigate the relationship between household types, housing tenure, and living space across different regions of the Netherlands with varying housing market conditions. By comparing the different regions with the prevailing housing market conditions, an attempt was made to find this possible mismatch. The central question is divided into two sub-questions with two outcomes, tenure and living space. A multinomial logistic regression is used to analyze tenure and household types in different regions, and an ordinary least squares (OLS) regression to examine living space and household types in different regions. The regressions performed for this research found significant evidence for a relationship between household types and tenure and between household types and living space. However, the findings indicate that only the influence of single-person and one-parent households on the chosen tenure form varies across different housing market conditions. This implies that the chance of homeownership for single- person households and one-parent families is smaller in tighter housing market areas. Future research could clarify whether this has to do with the current housing market crisis or whether this phenomenon has another cause by investigating other years and regions.
