| Annotation | This article describes and analyses older people's residential mobility in different residential set-ups in rural and metropolitan areas in the province of Quebec (Canada) between 2006 and 2011. A systematic analysis of residential form variability in territories that include both metropolitan and rural areas is performed. First, a typology of residential forms is proposed, using a principal component analysis and a hierarchical cluster analysis on environment-related and housing variables. Second, the residential mobility of older people among these different residential forms is analysed. The results reveal a certain amount of residential stability among seniors, except where specific conditions are met, such as the death of a spouse or the onset of health problems limiting day-to-day activities. For those who moved, high-rise habitat areas and mixed areas with older rental apartments held the greatest attraction. However, suburban areas attracted the largest number of older people, because these areas account for a sizeable portion of the real estate market. (RH). |
