This article examines households containing lodgers in the Carpathian Basin during the eighteenth century, using the status animarum , lists of inhabitants made by the Roman Catholic Church. The author argues that lodgers had special demographic and household characteristics. Evidence is provided to show that the majority of lodger households consisted of both families fragmented by family catastrophe and young couples at the beginning of their life-career. It is further argued that it would be worthwhile to extend the work on lodgers with comparative analyses, particularly because such work would shed light on this stratum of society, which is so often missing from micro-level demographic histories.

十八世纪中叶喀尔巴阡盆地传统世界的房客人口

本文使用罗马天​​主教会制定的居民名单 status animarum 调查了 18 世纪喀尔巴阡盆地的住户。作者认为，房客具有特殊的人口统计学和家庭特征。提供的证据表明，大多数寄宿家庭由因家庭灾难而支离破碎的家庭和职业生涯初期的年轻夫妇组成。有人进一步认为，通过比较分析扩展关于房客的工作是值得的，特别是因为这样的工作将揭示这个社会阶层，而微观层次的人口历史往往缺少这一阶层。
