Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the comparison of housing affordability in Czech and Polish regions and the extent to which prices of apartments and rents in individual regions are overestimated or underestimated. The affordability of housing is examined from the perspective of universally recognized indicators of housing affordability. The main parameters are the apartment price, household income and rent for the apartment. The data were processed using standard statistical methods and based on a simple mathematical model for calculating the deviation for a given region from the average prices of apartments and rents and the average values of housing availability indicators. Data processing revealed that on average in the Czech Republic there is worse availability than in the Polish regions. Within the time period for which the indicators were examined, they deteriorated in the Czech Republic, unlike in Poland, where, on the contrary, accessibility indicators improved slightly. Prague is the most expensive and also the least accessible region of all the regions examined.
