The issue of vacancies has been receiving increasing attention. We aim to describe factors and tendencies of housing abandonment from the perspective of the built environment and property owner characteristics. Using logistic regression, we analyzed the relationship between housing abandonment and the characteristics, and three major findings were clarified. First, building age and attachment to a road less than 4 m wide raised the probability of housing abandonment. Second, floor area was positively related to housing abandonment in exclusive residential zoning areas only. Third, a relationship was seen between several property owner characteristics and housing abandonment.
