Research Data for Paper: Spatial Hedonic Prices, Permanent Income, and Demand Elasticity for Rental Housing: Evidence from Microdata of Urban Households in Kenya

The survey collected data from households and institutions involved in the housing sector and covered all 47 Counties (subnational regions). The survey collected data on various aspects of housing, including the stock of dwellings, household spending on housing, land and dwelling ownership, access to utilities, housing affordability, age, size, and characteristics of dwellings.

The sample size of the household component of the survey for each county was computed independently and systematic sampling methodology was used to obtain the samples. The dataset is analyzed to obtain spatial hedonic prices for housing in the two major cities in Kenya. Permanent and transitory incomes are also estimated.
