(Un)Affordable housing and the residential separation of age groups
Residential age segregation in England and Wales has been growing in recent decades, with older and younger adults increasingly living in different neighbourhoods. Our research has found that age segregation is higher in areas where housing is least affordable, revealing a new concerning consequence of the housing crisis. The spatial separation of older and younger adults is a potential source of intergenerational tension and raises questions about social cohesion in the UK.

Abstract
Residential age segregation in England and Wales has been growing in recent decades, with older and younger adults increasingly living in different neighbourhoods. Our research has found that age segregation is higher in areas where housing is least affordable, revealing a new concerning consequence of the housing crisis. The spatial separation of older and younger adults is a potential source of intergenerational tension and raises questions about social cohesion in the UK.
