Abstract: This paper verifies the determinants on an intra-district residential mobility pattern with the residential migration theory. By using the intradistrict residential mobility to mobility ratio, we examine the patterns based on the variables of household attributes, degree of affordability, housing quality, and place identity. The overall results show that there are significant effects in the metropolitan area. Furthermore, the effects of household attributes and housing quality exhibit a declining pattern from the central business district to the fringe areas, and place identity is crucial to the fringe areas, but insignificant in the central business district (CBD). As for the district time-invariant effect, the fringe areas have higher values than the CBD, and in the case of the time-series effect, it appears that the CBD has a higher value than those in the fringe areas. Thus, we conclude that the residents in the central areas have a negative place identity but are highly affected by the household attributes and housing quality. However, the mobility patterns in the fringe areas show the opposite result. They are more influenced by a positive place identity but less affected by the household attributes and housing quality. Finally, housing affordability has a significant impact for all.
