    ENGLISH ABSTRACT: According to the census 2011 tenure is, divided into five categories: “Owned but not yet paid off”, “Owned and fully paid off”, “rented”,“occupied and rent free” and “tenure other”. The integral focus of the study is on owned tenure sourced with other related variables from the 2011 census data. Thus the purpose of the study was to explore spatially the critical factors that influence the distribution of owned tenure in the Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality, in order to model households’ housing career and locational mobility by household head (HH) age and population group in different income areas. The study applied a bivariate correlation, geographic weighted regression analysis in order to ascertain stages in which households attained owned tenure in relation to socio-demographic and economic variables. Ordinary Least Square (OLS) modelled spatially the varying relationships and determined homogenous groupings in terms of their randomness, the results of the study revealed that the hypothesis was true with the findings that “Owned, but not fully paid off” tenure was in large proportion at “HH age group 35 –49”. However, such tenure was also larger for the white population group at “HH age group 20 –34” compared to other groups. Unfortunately, “Owned and fully paid off” tenure contradicted the hypothesis on the basis that it was dominant and larger at HH age groups above 50. Moreover, both types of ownership were highly clustered in specific areas within the study area.
