Increasing income inequality potentially affect every dimension of human life, including opportunity to access housing. With more people have less income, it will hard for them to provide adequate dwellings, in term of per capita floor area. The small per capita floor area indicates households inability to provide better living condition for their family member. This research explores the relationship between income inequality and access of housing in Indonesia. We found that more unequal income drives to difficulities to obtain larger per capita floor area. The effect is quite different between population in Java Island and outside of Java Island. As income inequality rises in Java Island, less people will have less than 7,2 square meter per capita. On the other hand, as income inequality rises in outside of Java Island, more people will have less than 7,2 square meter per capita. © Serials Publications Pvt. Ltd.
