Abstract

This report looks at the motivations of, and tradeoffs made by, low income households who choose to relocate from metropolitan cities to rural and regional Australia. A key question considered was how important were housing considerations compared to other factors in location choice and whether, in the search for appropriate and affordable housing, the net welfare of movers is affected.
