Abstract	Single-person households have gained prominence and representativiness in urban areas. This growth has occurred along with the increase in the diversity of its composition. The territorial distribution of this type of home is not homogeneous within urban spaces nor are the characteristics of people living alone. Territorial specialization of single-person households to intrametropolitan level is a little studied phenomenon and the main objective analysis of this article. The big cities, and especially, the historical centers are those that concentrate a greater proportion of single-person households; not only due to greater aging but because they are the preferred locations of other typologies of single-person households: the young and adult population living alone. The article analyzes the evolution of single-person households in the two largest urban areas of Spain (Madrid and Barcelona) using 2011 census microdata; highlighting the differences between the capital and the rest of their respective areas by examining the territorial location of youth homes (18-35 years), of adults (36-64 years) and of elderly (> 65 years) at the inframunicipal level; analyzing the location quotients of key variables; applying a tree analysis to explaining the sociodemographic characteristics of people living alone
