Abstract

The Administration on Aging (AoA) of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare provided the Institute of Urban and Regional Research at The University of Iowa with a research grant to investigate factors influencing the housing choices of the elderly. As part of that research project, a national sample of the elderly U.S. population (aged 55 and over) was surveyed to determine their housing preferences and tradeoffs. This report focuses upon the design, analysis and results of the housing tradeoff research. The intent of the tradeoff and choice research performed in this project was to develop parallel and complementary analyses and models of elderly housing tradeoffs, preferences and choices. The result of this research is improved knowledge of the factors influencing housing choices of the elderly, leading to better public decisions on housing policies and programs for the elderly.
