Abstract

Building on state statistics, the authors analyzed the situation with providing housing opportunities for residents of the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD). The objective of the study is to define the housing stock characteristics of the microregion. Based on the methods of statistical analysis applied by the authors, the following parameters of the FEFD housing stock are identified: differentiation of regions–constituent entities of the Russian Federation in terms of housing provision and housing improvement, the degree of housing satisfaction according to resident surveys, debt on housing loans and affordability of rental housing. The paper demonstrates differences in the positions of FEFD regions. The article concludes that additional funding of the FEFD regions through state programs since 2014 has not affected the growth of the FEFD housing stock, which in terms of specific indicators of housing provision, is below the Russian average (2018–2020). The authors argue that for several FEFD regions, there is a dire need to improve housing quality (this applies particularly to the Republic of Buryatia and the Trans-Baikal Territory).
