Abstract

The rental housing market plays a critical role in the housing sector, catering to a variety of socioeconomic needs. In china, rapid urbanization, migration, and economic transformation have profoundly affected the development of rental housing, necessitating a deeper understanding of its spatial and temporal evolution. This study investigates the development trajectory of china's rental housing market over the past two decades and identifies the spatial differentiation and key influencing factors. While previous studies have explored china's real estate market, there has been limited focus on the rental housing sector, particularly in understanding the spatial and temporal dynamics of its evolution. This research fills this gap by conducting a large-scale analysis across 335 prefecture-level cities, incorporating a long-term comparative study from 2000 to 2020, which adds a much-needed temporal perspective to spatial housing studies. This research builds on theoretical frameworks such as housing filtering theory, new economic geography theory, and spatial econometrics theory. The literature on urbanization, migration, and housing supply-demand mechanisms is reviewed to establish the role of socioeconomic factors in shaping the rental housing market's spatial differentiation
