Subjective measures on Housing
URL : https://www.oecd.org/social/family/HC1.4-Subjective-Measures-on-Housing.xlsx
This indicator presents selected subjective measures based on poll survey data. The first set of measures presents reported levels of satisfaction with housing, whereas the second set presents reported measures of housing stress and housing insecurity. Housing standards can be subjective, and perceptions, as well as expectations, of the quality and affordability of housing and its environment can differ widely across individuals, countries and cultures. Perceptions of adequate housing may also depend on socio-demographic characteristics. For example, high-income households may have different and higher expectations in terms of housing quality than low-income households. Moreover, the perception of housing satisfaction is a dynamic process that can evolve over time (Satya Brink and Kathleen A. Johnston, (1979)). In all, an individual’s satisfaction with the area (s)he lives in is a subjective measure and there is no international definition that set out what an affordable house of good quality actually is (see Box 3. Conceptualising and measuring housing affordability from Balestra, C. and J. Sultan (OECD, 2013)). Subjective measures of housing can be an important complement to other measures of housing outcomes (OECD, 2013), and together can help better understand the determinants of housing satisfaction. In OECD countries, housing affordability is a main driver of residential satisfaction (Balestra, C. and J. Sultan (2013)). Neighbourhood characteristics, such as beauty, setting, access to public transport and the feeling of security, also exert a positive and significant effect on residential satisfaction. Overall, residential satisfaction has an important impact on people’s overall well-being.
