Determinants of housing tenure choice in Ibadan, Oyo State

The objective of the research is to examine factors which determine tenure choice among households in Ibadan. We randomly select residents from 6 Local Government Areas in the city using multi-stage sampling procedure. Data is collected on socioeconomic characteristics, housing tenure choice, and income of each household sampled and we estimate multinomial and binary logit models. We find that household of larger sizes have lesser likelihood of renting over ownership for all tenures of rental housing specified. It was also find that higher household income significantly reduces the likelihood of preferring a rented apartments over owning a house. Duration of household residency in Ibadan also significantly reduced the likelihood of renting for all rental tenures over house ownership. Household living in urban areas were found to have higher likelihood of renting for all rental tenures than house ownership.

本研究旨在探讨影响伊巴丹市家庭租住选择的决定因素。我们采用多阶段抽样程序，从城市内的六个地方政府区域中随机选取居民进行调研。收集了关于家庭社会经济特征、住房租住选择以及样本家庭收入的详细数据，并建立了多项式和二元逻辑模型进行估计。研究发现，家庭规模较大的家庭在所有规定的租赁住房租住期限中，选择租赁而非拥有住房的可能性较低。此外，家庭收入水平较高显著降低了家庭偏好租赁公寓而非拥有房屋的可能性。在伊巴丹市的居住时长也对租赁住房与房屋所有权的选择产生了显著影响，居住时长越长，选择租赁的可能性越低。居住在城市的家庭在所有租赁期限中租赁住房的可能性高于拥有房屋。
