Abstract: This paper examines factors related to two dimensions of housing satisfaction: satisfaction with space, and satisfaction with location. Two research issues are also examined: the first compares the pattern of housing satisfaction in Taichung with the Western pattern; the second focuses on whether migrant status has any significant effect. The results show that better interior quality is the most important factor accounting for satisfaction with space and that locational satisfaction is inversely related to distance from the city centre. The effects of migrant status and educational level suggest that the profile of housing satisfaction does not closely follow the Western pattern.
