Abstract
This research analyses the concentration of low-income people in a neighbourhood as a driver of the moving intentions of households in the case of the Netherlands. Based on studies from other countries, higher concentrations of low-income people in a neighbourhood increase the probability that households have moving intentions. Sufficient concentrations cause physical and socioeconomic complications in a neighbourhood, influencing the satisfaction of other residents. Consequently, this drives selective residential mobility, resulting in more segregation and concentration in neighbourhoods which is an issue. As a result, it is of interest to understand if the concentration of low-income people in the neighbourhood drives moving intentions in the case of the Netherlands. This study uses multiple logistic regression models to analyse data from the Netherlands’ Housing Survey, enriched with Dutch Central Bureau of Statistics data. The results of this study indicate that a 1-unit increase in the percentage of people with a low income in a neighbourhood results in the odds of intending to move being 1.008 times higher, holding all other variables constant. Moreover, this study reveals no significant difference in the moving intentions between households with the highest and lowest income due to the percentage of lowincome people in a neighbourhood.
