Abstract: Upward and downward residential mobility behaviour of household between different icome level neighbourhoods in Karachi is analysed in this research. A multinomial logit technique is used to analyse the data of 6275 households in the city. Results of the analysis indicated that mobility between different income level neighbourhoods in a developing country is driven by considerations than are different as compared with the developed countries. Theanalysis shows that upward and downwardmoves are sensitive to disequilibrium in housing consumption. There is still premium to indepedent housing as upward mobility is not associated with moves to apartment housing, and downward moves are more sensitive to a declining permanentincome relative to current income. Moreover, upward residential mobility is associated more than a move to peaceful areas and downward mobility means moving to worst serviced areas.
