MARTINEZ IBARRA, Alejandra  e  IBARRA SALAZAR, Jorge. Determinants of residential satisfaction in Mexico. Estud. demogr. urbanos [online]. 2017, vol.32, n.2, pp.283-313. ISSN 2448-6515.  https://doi.org/10.24201/edu.v32i2.1635.

In this paper, we analyze the determinants of residential satisfaction in Mexico on the basis of the results of the Residential Satisfaction Survey 2013. The data are aggregated into 512 housing complexes. We estimate different specifications generalized by least squares to link the rate of residential satisfaction to independent variables grouped into personal characteristics, economic aspects of the dwelling, physical environment, social environment, housing characteristics and location and proximity. We found that the variables related to the physical environment and the social environment account for the variations in average residential satisfaction in housing complexes in Mexico. These findings indicate areas of opportunity for housing policy that could improve residents’ well-being.
