Abstract
The relationship between age and housing satisfaction with tenure type (ownership or rental) controlled is investigated using multiple-regression analysis. Owners are found to be equally satisfied with their housing regardless of age. Older renters are as satisfied as owners, whereas younger renters are significantly less satisfied than all other groups. Age and tenure type interact in their effect on housing satisfaction.
