Abstract: This article presents the results of a study on the housing situation of young married couples in Olsztyn. The results were derived from a survey addressed to newlyweds, which was developed according to J. KORNI£OWICZ (2003). The research material was collected in collaboration with the Register Office in Olsztyn. An indicator method proposed by A. ANDRZEJEWSKI (1987) was applied to the processing of the data. The purpose of this study was to analyze the housing situation of young married couples. The results implicate quite a high self-evaluationof the housing situation by young married couples. The most common type of home occupied by newlyweds was their own flat (including mortgaged ones), followed by sharing a flat with the family of one of the spouses while starting the construction of one’s own house. Furthermore, over 50% of the respondents considered temporary economic migration and nearly 40% declared they could feel forced to emigrate permanently due to their housing situation.
