Thesis (M.S.)--Northern Illinois University, 2014.

There has been a host of attempts to describe the organization of a city and, accordingly, why people live where they live since the early 1900's. Some of the most prominent descriptions of urban structure include the concentric zone model developed by Park, McKenzie and Burgess (1925) and the multiple nuclei model from Harris and Ullman (1945). While these models and others tended to describe the city more broadly, this research focuses down to the tract level; specifically on the concept of the high amenity zone. High amenity zones, as defined by Greene (2008), are tracts with a low worker to resident ratio but with a high job density and are typically found within areas of the city that typically exhibit higher median incomes and higher median housing values. The goal behind this research is to investigate why people are attracted to these tracts as reflected by an increased willingness to pay, which influences the median housing value. Selected for this analysis are a number of amenity, demographic, and socio-economic variables drawn from previous research performed by Richard Florida, Edward Glaeser, and Mark Partridge. Comparisons between Chicago, IL and Houston, TX are made, along with the high amenity zone tracts of each, through a series of global and local regressions along with LISA maps. The findings demonstrate that while median income and the percent of the population with at least a bachelor's degree consistently have a positive impact, bookstores and museums may serve as positive attractors for the population.
