PEOPLES' EVALUATION OF URBAN AND SUBURBAN CHARACTERISTICS: A RESIDENTIAL STATED PREFERENCE MODEL

A residential choice model is presented, estimated from use of a stated preference survey conducted in the Portland, Oregon, metropolitan area. The model estimates the significance of different urban and residential characteristics including accessibility by different modes to residents, and indicates the willingness to pay for these characteristics. Results show that while people are willing to pay for some neighborhood attributes that characterize higher-density neighborhoods, these are mostly for different types of local shops and improved transit service.
