Abstract This study aims to identify temporal shifts in the determinants of rural housing vacancy. We analyze two cross-sections (2015, 2023) for 14 counties in Jeonbuk Province using harmonized indicators from public statistics. Methods include Pearson correlations and stepwise multiple regression with backward elimination, accompanied by diagnostics for normality, multicollinearity, and the Durbin?Watson statistic. Results show a pivot from supply-driven drivers in 2015?proxied by housing supply rate and fiscal capacity?to quality- and mobility-driven factors in 2023?proxied by the proportion of old housing and net migration; the correlation structure likewise reorients from vacancy?supply to vacancy?aging and vacancy?migration linkages. Taken together, the findings indicate that effective responses should prioritize safeguarding and activation of existing stock, grade-based management and adaptive reuse of aged housing, and removal of conversion barriers (inheritance, registration, transaction), while a four-axis framework?stock volume, stock quality, convertibility, and demand selectivity?can guide community-based governance and resilience-oriented regeneration under demographic decline.
