Summary/Abstract: The study is based on a sub-result of a 4-year research project funded by the National Research, Development and Innovation Office (NRDIO). The original project's research plan (Transforming local housing markets in large Hungarian cities) also included an overview of spatial processes that can be captured by housing market indicators across administrative boundaries. The main re-search question was: do such indicators exist and, if so, what elements of the suburbanisation process can they capture, based on the available public data-bases, which are little used by domestic researchers? The author concludes that such indicators do exist, and that their analysis provides useful direct or indirect inputs for mapping the spatial pro-cesses taking place in the two interpretative frameworks (relative deconcentration and spatial exodus of the middle class), and that, in combination with other methods, they can explain the differences in the processes taking place in different urban areas.
