The purpose of this study is to analyze the spatial distribution patterns changes of single-person household based on '2005-2010 Population and Housing Census'. As the result of study conducted by classifying single-person household into the unit of 25 autonomous districts and 424 Haengjeong-dong, the spatial distribution patterns of single-person household on Seoul in 2010 show similar with in 2005. However, while the existing areas seen in the high proportion of one-person households slightly has been reduced, the portion has increased in Yongsan-gu, Dongjak-gu and Geumcheon-gu. In terms of Haengjeong-dong, 11 Dong having Location Quotient index greater than one has increased compared to 2005. Also, as the result of analysis by age, one person households younger than 35 years old tend to concentrate on go-si-chon or near the university. On the other hand, middle and old aged one person households usually concentrate on downtown and industrial area. And the study shows that older than 60 years old households are living in conventional downtown Sadaemun and the secondary center of the city such as Nowon-gu, Dobong-gu, Jungrang-gu and Gangbuk-gu. While the concentration of younger one person households has been relaxed, one person households older than 60 years old are similar or increased with in 2005.
