Abstract: This paper examines the sequential nature of the residential-mobility decisionmaking process. Initially a model of household tenure mobility is considered, consisting of two stages, the decision to move and the choice of tenure; ultimately this assumption is relaxed. Multiple discriminant analysis is used to distinguish between the different groups of households, between movers and nonmovers, and between different tenures, on the basis of a set of variables describing the socioeconomic characteristics of the household. Life-style and demographic factors are shown to influence more the tenure moved to than the decision to move. And although various factors appear to influence the mobility decision in the different tenures, the age of the household is generally found to be the most important discriminator.
