Summary/Abstract: In this work, demographic patterns of the city of Szczecin are examined in the context of the housing demand. The aim is to describe the demographic profile of Szczecin and to analyze its main components that affect the housing market now and in the future. The analysis is conducted using mainly the National Census of Population and Housing 2011 data. Key topics include the population size and structure, marriages, divorces and migration. It is shown that besides the declining population size, some other significant patterns may be observed that impact the housing market and may change the qualitative aspects of the housing demand. Such factors include postponed and diversified union and family formation processes, an increasing number of less numerous families and singles, and a growing potential of the elderly population.
