Summary/Abstract: The existence of new housing construction is one of the characteristics of a prosperous community. If there are no new apartments in the municipality, it is a result of its stagnation or decline. The article maps the geographical distribution of the number of completed flats in municipalities in the Czech Republic, focusing on the reasons for the unattractiveness of some municipalities in the Liberec Region in terms of housing. The indicator used is the housing construction intensity (IBV) in the 20-year period 1998-2017, per 1 km2. For municipalities that have reached extremely low values of the indicator were examined qualitative geographic parameters of the area, or the historical development leading to this state. Furthermore, the correlation between IBV indicator values in all municipalities in the Liberec Region and 15 selected geographical, demographic, social and economic indicators was analysed. Five areas were identified in the Liberec Region that can be described as unattractive in terms of housing construction. Significant correlations were documented for indicators: the number of inhabitants, number of legal entities per 1000 inhabitants, and for 4 other indicators describing civic amenities in municipalities, availability of services and technical infrastructure. On the contrary, none of the demographic indicators has shown a close relationship.
