This study selects eight peri-urban villages in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to explore in depth the status of different aspects of peri-urban villages in developed regions. Basing on the current evaluation framework, this study constructs a subjective-objective rural habitat assessment system, comprehensively and reasonablely analyzing the rural living environment. The study finds that quality of the rural housing and public services have become the core traction force driving the migration of residents.
