Abstract

The article is based on the latest contributions to the question culled from international and national works
on the multi-residence phenomenon. The approach here used argues for an analysis of the interactions
between the characteristics of any household’s principal residence and its second. To this end the social and
demographic factors that favor multi-residence in Spain’s major cities are gone into. Further to this, the
differences as between cities are given their due. The fi ndings show that: a) the inhabitants of Spain’s major
cities are more likely to have a second home; b) the differences in the diffusion of multi-residence as between
cities are best explained by the degree of regional development; c) the higher the global second home index
of any city reads then the lower the social divergence in second-home possession will stand; and d) a highly
dense urban model will boost the demand for second-homes.
