Abstract


This paper studies the residential differentiation in the historical urban district in Madrid (Centro), considering the population and their housing as the framework of the spatial differentiation. Factorial Analysis (with the extraction model of principal components analysis) and Quick Cluster Analysis are used under the methodological approach of multivariate statistics for discovering the relationships among variables, their explanation power and the association of objects (census areas) into homogeneous clusters. A model of 10 factors describes the original variables, and those with a high proportion are related to housing characteristics. Results of clustering census areas are shown in the enclosed maps.
