This paper investigates the logistics of moving house for older people living in insecure housing, focusing on the experiences of single older women in the greater Sydney region of Australia. It identifies four domains of experience - material, economic, embodied, and affective - and explores how these aspects contribute to mobility-based disadvantage and risks to identity and senses of home. It fills gaps in gerontological and housing scholarship by developing knowledge of the logistics and experiences of ongoing, involuntary residential moves.
This paper develops knowledge of the logistics of moving house amongst older people living in insecure housing. These people typically do not move once and settle into a new house, but face ongoing moves driven by factors including housing affordability, tenure conditions and eviction. The paper identifies four domains of experience faced by people undergoing cumulative, involuntary residential moves: the material (process of relocating oneself and possessions), economic (costs of moving house), embodied (physical experience) and affective (how relocation is experienced and felt). The logistics of relocation are examined through the experiences of single older women living in insecure housing in the greater Sydney region of Australia. The accounts of these women foreground the costs and challenges of insecure housing that are a consequence of relocation. Conceptually this work contributes to understandings of mobility-based disadvantage in older age through drawing out the ways that the logistics of moving house - of relocating oneself and possessions - contribute in distinct ways to mobility-based disadvantage through risks to identity and senses of home. Empirically it addresses gaps in gerontological and housing scholarship through developing knowledge of the logistics and experiences of ongoing, involuntary residential moves.
