| description | There are growing concerns for neighbourhood lowliness in public housing development which affect residents’ wellbeing. Three major neighbourhood components that comprise the socio-economic characteristics of the residents, physical and social characteristics of neighbourhoods were identified and assessed for this study. A questionnaire survey was used to acquire primary data. Five, representing 16.7% of estates, were randomly selected from thirty public housing estates in the urban area of Ibadan. Subsequently, using systematic sampling technique, questionnaires were administered to 985 (20%) of households from the total of 4,922 households in the selected estates. Data collected were analysed using percentages, Relative Importance Indices and Multiple Regression Analyses. The results showed that 74.5% were homeowners, while renters, inheritors and government allotters had 22.7 and 2.8%, respectively. The results on the perception of physical characteristics indices (PCI) show that Alalubosa estate had the highest value with 4.23 PCI, while the social characteristics indices (SCI) revealed that Old Bodija estate had the highest value of 4.09 SCI. The results of regression analyses show that PCI and SCI were significant to residents' perception of neighbourhood quality where P-value < 0.00 probability level. The study confirmed the linear relationship and level of significance among the three factors.
