RIESGO SOCIAL DE LAS PERSONAS EN EXCLUSIÓN RESIDENCIAL: UN ANÁLISIS MULTIDIMENSIONAL.

Having adequate housing is a basic requirement for social integration. However, residential exclusion is a permanent risk in our society for many groups and with very heterogeneous social profiles. The Observatory of Social Exclusion of the University of Murcia has developed its own methodology in the five recounts-survey carried out in the municipalities of Cartagena and Murcia in recent years. This paper presents this methodology, providing the social profile of the 824 people in residential exclusion, captured in the recounts-survey carried out in February 2023 in Murcia. It also offers the results of graduating the situation of the people surveyed, adopting a multidimensional approach, into four social spaces: Inclusion, Vulnerability, Moderate Exclusion and Severe Exclusion. The principal component analysis carried out confirms that in the processes of residential exclusion the accumulated risks in the dimensions of income and socio-family relations are determinant, adding in the Spanish population the health dimension and in foreigners the education dimension, showing significant differences according to nationality, although not of gender. These results are complemented by the proposals of the professionals involved in social intervention with this group, who participated in the discussion groups and interviews carried out.
