Resumen

In the context of population aging, this paper aims to characterize, quantify and describe the intra-municipal spatial distribution of households with an elderly population (aged 75+) in the city of Malaga. The use of the Municipal Register of Inhabitants, at the neighborhood level, has allowed us to identify households made up of two older people, and single-person households and carry out a temporal evolution of their number, and distribution in the urban fabric, between 2008 and 2020. The number of both types of households has increased notably in our study period. In contrast, using the Location Quotient, we have identified areas of overrepresentation, that do not coincide exactly with the spatial distribution of the elderly population taken as a whole.
