Abstract

Maps of the intraurban residential preferences of a large sample of respondents in the Los Angeles metropolitan area are presented as an alternate way of viewing intraurban space. Some technical problems associated with the analysis of residential preferences are discussed, and an income constraint is introduced as an integral part of the analysis. The results suggest that it is possible to present a meaningful map of the urban area in terms of residential preferences, and that the preference patterns displayed by minority groups indicate the importance of ethnic ties.
