Best Answer

There are several causes that contribute to the existence of squatters including the following:

  • Poverty: A population of poor people who do not have the resources to own a permanent home.
  • Travellers: People who choose to move from place to place taking advantage of unguarded property.
  • Opportunists: People who look for uninhabited or vacant property that is not being maintained often because the owner died and the heirs can't or do not want to maintain the property, or, the property is too large or remote to police.
  • Economic recessions: The existence of large numbers of properties that have been abandoned by their owners who could no longer pay the mortgages and upkeep.
  • Death: The death of an owner with no heirs.

Well, a squatter settlement is a very low-income residential area, which means the primary cause is low-income or lack of an income.
