This article evaluated and compared housing deficit and residential satisfaction of population in the country and in Mexico’s northern border in 2014. In the last decades, the border strip has undergone an intense urbanization process due to economic and demographic growth and dynamism. The central question was: are there differences concerning housing deficit and residential satisfaction between this region and the rest of the country? The methodology used was based on statistical analysis and the testing of hypothesis in order to test significances when evaluating comparatively the two aspects. Differences between them in both areas stood out in the results, with the border zone being favored to a larger extent.

Keywords : housing; deficit; satisfaction; economic growth; urbanization.
