Abstract: This article endeavors to explore and analyze the relationship between individuals’ education levels and their housing decisions, with a particular focus on the choice of residences served by basic sanitation networks. The study employs a multinomial logit model using data from the 2019 PNAD continua survey. A household in which the individual has achieved postgraduate education is 15.268 times more likely to utilize garbage collection coverage compared to a household where the head has only attained primary education level and where garbage is discarded in vacant lots or public thoroughfares. Regarding the processes of direct and indirect collection, an additional year of education results in approximately a 20% increase in the relative probability of a person relocating from their dwelling where residents dispose of their family’s garbage in rivers and/or seas to another residence where this does not occur due to the availability of direct collection services.
