This study has measured and analytically compared the behavioral residential stresses and the economic consumption disequilibria of 103 households for their single‐family homes in Saskatoon. The first finding was that members of the mover subsample significantly reduced their overall consumption disequilibria by moving in the context of a computer game, but their overall stresses were. unchanged, Second, different sets of home attributes were the sources of either the stresses or the consumption disequilibria of the mover and the inner‐city subsamples. The conclusion was that these two indices measured different indices of a household's satisfaction with its home.
