The housing stability is a key to government’s health and well-being. The availability of affordable housing helps promote the economic and social sustainability of our cities and communities. Due to a growing lack of housing, the necessity to include affordable housing in governments’ infrastructure policies needs to be prioritized. This paper discussed characteristics of the affordable housing based on disposable income focusing on 5 large area in Seoul, 5 housing types, and aging years. There are 4 findings. Firstly, same income level's householders have more opportunities to find affordable and more spacious housing among rentals of 5 types than among housing stock for sale, due to both amount of available housing units and their affordability. Secondly, low income affordable housing found mostly NE and SW, high income households tended to live in the SE. Thirdly, there is the polarization of housing type. Higher income households live in apartment, while lower income households live in Dagagu. Finally, reconstruction projects have largely involved the demolition of small, low-priced homes of various types, and have replaced these with only type of apartment. These conditions support continuous policy interventions, increasing both buyable stocks and rentable stocks, of local government for affordable houses of the low income householders. the central government needs to prepare the long time budget plan for the affordable housing investment as a social infrastructure. |
