Vivienda secundaria y residencia múltiple en España: una aproximación sociodemográfica

Abstract

The subject of second homes has hardly been studied in spite of its spatial and economic impact. Through analysis of the population having a second home in Spain, this paper aims to provide some elements that give us a closer understanding of the new reality of “multiple residents” and the “residentially shared territories”. By means of logistic regression, it attempts to analyze the influence of socio-demographic variables on second home possession in 1991. From a geo-demographic perspective, the analysis is done for Spain at provincial level. This is also a geographic perspective since it studies the habitat (the size of municipality and the province of main residence). It is a demographic perspective because it uses specifically demographic structural variables: age, type of household, socioeconomic category and migratory history of the interviewees.
