The factors which presently seem to influence the disparity in house prices between rural and urban areas in Jamaica are:
- Due to emerging nations, making the rural areas less important.
- The fact that major farmland is handled by a small group of farmers.
- Increase in Poverty rate.
What lead to these disparity in Jamaica?
There are some reasons why people in Jamaica are migrating from rural to urban areas.
First, Jamaica, like many other emerging nations, has consistently favored urban development at the expense of rural communities, making the latter undesirable, especially to young people
Second, the majority of arable farmland is controlled by a limited number of farmers, leaving small farmers with marginal hillside property that, due to improper agricultural methods, frequently loses soil through flooding during rainy seasons.
Therefore, Rural poverty is the third main factor influencing rural/urban migration in Jamaica. The majority of the impoverished in Jamaica—60% of people who are considered to be living in poverty—live in rural areas.
