dc.description.abstractResidential mobility described as the mechanism through which households adjust their housing consumption pattern in line with available housing provision has various implications for sustainable development in developing countries including Nigeria. This is in view of the fact that frequent mobility has remarkable implication on neighbourhood stability. This study examined the reasons for residential mobility among households in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. Data used for this study were collected through systematic random sampling technique from 334 households with the aid of a well-structured questionnaire. Factor analysis was used to analyse the data. Findings of the study showed that 12 components account for ninety-eight percent of the reasons for residential mobility. The need for more space (9.04%), security (8.98%), new job opportunity (8.58%), constituted the most important factors. This study recommended a housing policy that will consider these parameters so as to sustain the relative peace usually enjoyed through neighbourhood stability.en_US
