Right area is defined as the area appropriate for a specific household type in selecting its residential environment. Based on the analysis of the relationship between household types and their selected residential area where they actually bought houses, right area maps are constructed. The regression analysis suggests that each household composition type has a trait of residential selection and household with householder 55-64 years old have more conditions for residential selection than other types. The right area for a specific household type tends to cluster spatially, which suggests that the residential environment is similar in nearby areas. The distribution of right area of three-person households and that of single households are difference. The area with the high rate of commercial area coincides with the non-right area of every household. Right area for three-person households seems to be more reliable than single or two-person households, partly because the number of houses sold in the actual housing market has the major share.
