Distinctive neighbourhood housing patterns in Aotearoa New Zealand - Hannah Kotula & David C Maré

Spatial variation in housing market outcomes reflects the com- plex interaction of many factors, including variation in the distribution of income and wealth, in the preferences of residents, and in the supply and demand of different forms of housing. [...] The contribution of the cur- rent paper is to provide contextual information for other components of the geographies of racism stream: a survey-based study of residential choices and constraints; a qualitative study of rental housing market practices, and a multi-method study focused on health outcomes of deprivation related to segregation. [...] To visualise the distribution of the first pattern, we provide maps of the main urban areas (with darker shades of grey representing a high similarity with the given pattern). [...] We provide a series of boxplots to visualise the variability of factor scores within and between urban areas (Figures 1, 3 and 4), and a table with the share and incidence of individuals residing in high factor areas (Table 2). [...] Variables that load strongly on a given factor are highly correlated with that factor (i.e., the factor explains a high proportion of the variance in the variable), whereas variables that load weakly on a factor are poorly explained by the factor.
