Abstract: Based on the dimensions of job security and ownership, the creative class is distinguished between the self‐employed and the paid‐employed in this paper. Based on panel data from 2000 to 2017 in China, we find the creative class of paid‐employed is more attracted by a quality of place with better ecological environment and more art and culture facilities, while the self‐employed creative class seems to live and work in an area with more financial benefit and high‐tech industries. This study contributes a theoretical model to explain why and how the type of the creative class is unevenly spatially distributed across China.
