The research also looks at people’s future aspirations for their housing. This research will be used to provide data on trends in residential and neighbourhood satisfaction over time, and will be carried out at regular intervals. There are two broad research questions. The first is, what are the current levels of residential satisfaction in Ireland. The second question relates to what Irish householders’ aspirations for their future housing needs are. The research aims to provide descriptive data on housing in Ireland, which will be used to inform current housing policy and provide information to help develop policies into the future. The research objectives are to: <ul> <li>Provide data on trends in residential satisfaction over time</li> <li>Provide data on residential aspirations among Irish householders</li> <li>Provide information on housing costs, affordability, housing quality, barriers to different tenures, location, residential features, etc.</li> <li>Provide information which will input to national and regional housing policy</li> <li>Track expectations and aspirations by age groups over time and understand shifts in population needs</li> <li>Collect information to help with assessing future housing requirements</li> </ul> 2018-06-082018-07-27 Ireland Individual Householders aged 18 and over, resident in Ireland. Survey data Cross-section Non-probability: Quota. A quota-based sampling approach was used. There were specific social and geographical criteria. Interviewers had a town or address as a starting point and filled their quotas according to their assignment (e.g. males, aged 18-24 etc). The target population was householders aged 18 and over, resident in Ireland. The target sample size for the study was 1200 to achieve a confidence level of 95% and a confidence interval of 2.83%. The sample frame used was the Geodirectory of electoral districts in Ireland and the Eircode system, a comprehensive listing of all addresses in Ireland. The survey used a multi-stage probability cluster sampling design; in the first stage, 120 clusters were randomly selected from the 2,700 electoral districts and in the second stage, houses were selected from within each of the 120 clusters. In the third stage, a systematic random sample of every fifth house in each cluster was visited and householders aged 18 and over were selected as respondents based on the ‘next birthday’ rule. The sample points were nationally distributed to ensure diversity in geographic coverage in terms of gender, age and socioeconomic group. Quotas were applied for gender, location and social class.
