While housing issues in developing countries, after years of benign neglect, have become major items of public policy, the design and analysis of appropriate development plans are handicapped by the state of current knowledge of housing consumption patterns and their variations among countries and over time. This paper presents the notion that changes in housing consumption in a country reflect its level of development. Evidence has been found to support this hypothesis that income elasticities are low in early development, increase rapidly during middle levels of development, and begin to decline at very high levels of development
