ABSTRACT
The test of the association of workplace and residential change is a test of the journey-to-work models of residential location. This analysis of the determinants of intrametropolitan moving behavior indicates a significant association between workplace changes and residence changes, and supports the importance of the workplace in determining residence location. This chapter provides a test of the key behavioral assumption embodied in the journey-to-work theory of residential location. It presents empirical analysis of the relationship between changes in place of work and changes in place of residence. Job change could be associated with residence change both because job change is often related to changes in income and status and because it is related to changes in the worktrip. A household demands a particular collection or bundle of housing attributes. The bundle includes attributes such as number of rooms, physical quality of dwelling, lot size, location, neighborhood quality, quality of public services, and taxes.
