Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter reviews a probability model for analyzing interneighborhood mobility. Conventional mobility studies concentrate on this last change, primarily as a function of the family's progression through the various stages of its life cycle. In none of these studies are the interurban movements resulting from changes in the neighborhood characteristics of the housing bundle expressly considered. In past studies, the postulated net effect of income on movement has been an ambiguous one. Also certain traditionally specified variables may effect mobility quite differently in transitional areas than they do in general. One clear example of this can be seen in the case of married individual with school age children. Normally, such a family would be unlikely to move; however, in a transitional neighborhood, this family becomes the most likely to move. Neighborhood characteristics are a vital component in the proper specification of any model purporting to explain intraurban mobility.
