The article analyses the socio-spatial logic behind the accumulation of foreclosed housing in the hands of large private landlords in the neighbourhoods of all the Catalan cities with over 100,000 inhabitants. Spatial regression and clustering techniques are applied to identify the determinants of the concentration patterns of 10,725 housing units in these cities. The socioeconomic variables, such as income level, percentage of foreign population, level of studies or percentage of unemployed residents, are identified as key explanatory factors of clustering of foreclosures in working-class neighbourhoods. A high presence of previously mortgaged homes is a variable especially relevant in the case of working-class neighbourhoods, but it has no incidence in the case of the medium-high class neighbourhoods. Our findings provide a detailed urban geography of the housing accumulated by banks which, at the same time, correspond to areas in which the vulture funds are focusing their business in the present and in the forthcoming years. New evidences of the spatial logic of the housing crisis and detailed information for the understanding of the new scenarios that have emerged during the post-crisis phase are revealed.

识别危机后加泰罗尼亚城市中大型私人房东积累的止赎房屋的社会空间逻辑

这篇文章分析了加泰罗尼亚所有人口超过10万的城市附近的大型私人房东手中丧失抵押品赎回权的住房积累背后的社会空间逻辑。应用空间回归和聚类技术来确定这些城市中10,725个住房单元的集中模式的决定因素。社会经济变量，例如收入水平，外国人口百分比，学习水平或失业人口百分比，被确定为工人阶级社区止赎房屋聚集的关键解释因素。以前抵押房屋的高存在对于变量是特别重要的变量，对于工人阶级社区而言，但在中高级阶级社区中则没有发生。我们的发现提供了银行积累的住房的详细城市地理信息，与此同时，它们对应于秃鹰基金在当前和未来几年将重点放在其业务上的领域。揭示了住房危机的空间逻辑的新证据，以及了解危机后阶段出现的新情况的详细信息。
