| Abstract |
As housing insecurity among young adults worsens, university neighborhoods are undergoing youthification. This study examines youthification in Sinchon, a university neighborhood in Seoul, Korea, using 2015?2023 population, housing, and mobility data at the census output area level, via exploratory spatial data analysis and spatial Markov chain analysis. Results show that residential segregation patterns differed between early-twenties and early-thirties cohorts, and that increases in the population aged 25?34, new small-sized housing supply, and rising rents clustered around subway stations. These findings suggest that youthification entails life-course residential segregation overlapping with housing market and mobility changes, and call for inclusive housing policies. |
