本文研究了住房区位对低收入居民住房负担的影响。具体而言，它评估了与市中心的距离对以下方面的影响：（1）住房单元的市场价格;（2）家庭的通勤费用;（3）家庭进入社交网络的机会。它的研究结果基于对巴西戈亚尼亚、哥伦比亚巴兰基利亚和墨西哥普埃布拉等城市居住在补贴住房单元中的150户家庭的调查。到中心的距离对所考虑的所有方面都有重大影响：外围住房单元的平均市场价格比中心住房单元低约40%。居住在周边地区的工人在通勤上花费的金钱和时间是居住在中心地区的工人的两倍。四分之三的中心家庭每月探亲一次或一次以上，而只有三分之一的边缘家庭这样做。此外，居住在边缘地区的家庭对集中在低收入地区表示关切。这些影响令人关切，因为这些住房单元完全是为了改善低收入家庭的物质条件而建造的，而低收入家庭是一个垄断市场，住房选择非常有限。
This article considers how housing location impacts the housing burden of low-income residents. Specifically, it assesses the impact of distance to city centre on: (1) market price of the housing unit, (2) households’ commuting expenses; and (3) households’ access to social networks. It bases its findings on 150 surveys of households living in subsidised housing units in the cities of Goiania, Brazil; Barranquilla, Colombia; and Puebla, Mexico. Distance to centre has a significant impact on all dimensions considered: the average market price for a peripheral housing unit is about 40% less than for a central one. Workers who live in the periphery spend twice the money and three times the time in commuting than those who live in central locations. Three-quarters of centrally located households visit relatives once a month or more, while only a third of peripherally located households do so. In addition, households residing in the periphery expressed their concern about being concentrated in homogeneously low-income areas. These impacts are a concern inasmuch as these housing units are solely built for improving the material conditions of low-income households, who are a captive market with very limited housing options.
