Notes
Leaving the issue of house composition to one side, building new houses will lead to internal migration, as well as increasing the number of incomers from outside. As such, not all the population increase for the town will occur within new housing stock. Instead, some will be spread out amongst the existing housing stock which will become vacated as a consequence of internal migration. For this reason, within the case study, incomers within old as well as new housing stock are considered in comparison to longer-term town residents.
Discrete dependent variables for houses aged five years or less (1: Yes; 0: No) and 10 years or less (1: Yes; 0: No) were logistically regressed against a series of explanatory variables. Proxy variables for house value, people recently moving to the area and working outside Penrith were statistically significant for both dependent variables (p < 0.05).
