Who buys public transport accessible housing? Residential sorting in the Oslo region
研究奥斯陆地区公共交通可达性如何影响不同收入家庭和生命阶段的居住选择，发现高收入家庭更可能选择高可达性住房，且该影响随生命历程推进而减弱。
• Public transport (PT) accessibility influences dwelling selection. • Families are sorted to varying PT access depending on family type and income level. • High-income families are more likely to select dwellings with high PT access. • The influence of PT accessibility decreases as the life course progresses. This article investigates whether public transport (PT) accessibility is related to socioeconomic residential sorting in the Oslo region. There is widespread concern that PT services contribute to gentrification and exclusionary processes, although empirical evidence for this is limited. This study uses detailed dwelling transaction data and estimates conditional logit models on residential purchases among different income groups. The results show that the effect of PT accessibility on dwelling selection varies as the life course progresses. Families with children and older households display lower effects of PT accessibility on residential choice than young, childless households. At the same time, PT accessibility increases the likelihood of dwelling purchase more for high-income households than for households with a lower income. These results confirm that PT accessibility is a valued and limited residential asset, one that households with more economic resources are better able to obtain.
