ABSTRACT

This study aims to examine the relationship between housing cost burden and satisfaction with housing and the residential environment among renter households, and to investigate the mediating effect of housing insecurity and the moderated mediation effect of satisfaction with rent allowance. For this purpose, the raw data from the 2024 Korea Housing Survey were used, and a total of 2,064 households were included in the final analysis. The results showed that housing cost burden had a significant negative relationship with satisfaction with housing and the residential environment, while it had a significant positive relationship with housing insecurity. Housing insecurity was also significantly negatively associated with satisfaction with housing and the residential environment and showed a significant mediating effect in the relationship between housing cost burden and housing and residential environment satisfaction. In addition, satisfaction with rent allowance significantly moderated the effect of housing cost burden on housing insecurity, and the moderated mediation effect was also found to be significant. These findings suggest that housing cost burden affects housing satisfaction through housing insecurity and that satisfaction with rent allowance may play an important conditional role in this process. Therefore, future housing policies should seek to reduce both housing cost burden and housing insecurity among renter households while enhancing the satisfaction of rent allowance recipients.
