Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to analyse the regions of Slovakia using selected indicators related to housing. Indicators entering the analysis are: the proportion of households that consider paying of total housing cost to be very encumbering, the proportion of people below the poverty line (60% of median), the unemployment rate, the proportion of households who own a flat/house, average real estate prices, average nominal monthly wage of employee, regional gross domestic product per capita. We will use one of the multi-criteria comparison methods for the analysis, namely the scoring method. Based on this method, we rank the regions according to the value of the integral indicator from the best to the worst. From the results of the analysis, we found out that from the point of view of the analysed indicators the best were placed Trenčín, Nitra and Žilina regions, and the worst Košice and Prešov regions. The application of the statistical method was carried out through the program Microsoft Office Excel.
