【摘要】Given significant variation in population turnover and stability across neighborhoods,this study examines why renters stay in or leave certain neighborhoods. It is the first to analyzehow neighborhood characteristics influence renters’ decisions to move within the neighborhood aswell as how these decisions are interrelated with their housing tenure transitions and race. Resultsdemonstrate that homeownership rates have a significant, positive association with the probabilitythat renters stay and/or purchase homes in the current neighborhood. Both the tenure compositionof the housing stock and higher neighborhood satisfaction appear to be central in understanding thisassociation. Results also suggest that nonblack renters are more likely to leave neighborhoods thatexperience growth in the percentage of the black population, while blacks are more likely to stay andpurchase homes within such neighborhoods.
