Since 2003, Argentina has gone through a decade of important growth. Being aware of the importance of the environment conditions on the population’s health, the objective of this study is to analyze the changes as regards housing characteristics and ownership as well as whether there have been improvements in the provision of drinkable water and sewage systems in urban agglomerates in Argentina. On the other hand, consideringthat infant mortality rate is an important health indicator of the population and future generations and therefore, of the economic development of a country, we have taken it asa proxy variable associated with ownership and housing conditions. This is a descriptive correlational study with longitudinal design.Results obtained show that: from 2003 to 2011 the relationship quintile 5 to quintile 1 (i.e. the difference between the richest 20% and the poorest 20%) in income distribution fluctuated from 15:1 to 11:1. At country level, the percentage of homes increased by 21%. Proportionally houses with tile, wood, ceramic and carpet floors increased as well as water supply within the houses and flush toilets; the number of hunts and houses with adobe walls decreased. In agglomerates the quantity of owners was reduced and the number of tenants and unauthorized occupants rose.If we refer to urban agglomerates, we can see improvements in floor materials, the lowest categories are found in the northern area of the country. Almost a third of the houses have zinc sheets as roof covers and more than 85% of roofs have ceiling.The proportions in supply of running water from public net, pipe system within the house, bathrooms within the house and flush toilets go beyond 90%. Drainage to sewage system is around 76%.The analysis of factors shows that infant mortality rate makes up an axis with housing risk indicators such as floor type, overcrowding, ceiling, running water in the house andtype of toilet drainage.The country is divided into three classes; the first one corresponds to the southern provinces and Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (CABA) where we find the lowest infant mortality rates and the best housing conditions. In this first group we also find San Luis, possibly due to housing indicators. In the second class we find the worst conditions of infant mortality with greater risk conditions in the houses; and in the third class we findintermediate development agglomerates. |

A partir del año 2003, Argentina atravesó una décadade gran crecimiento. Conociendo la importancia de lascondiciones del hábitat en el stock de salud de la población, el objeto de este trabajo es analizar los cambios en cuanto a las características de las viviendas y tenencia de mismas, como así también si existieron avances en cuanto a la provisión de servicios de agua potable y cloacales, en los aglomerados urbanos de Argentina. Por otro lado, considerando que la tasa de mortalidad infantil, es un importante indicador de salud de la población y de las generaciones futuras y por ende de desarrollo económico de una nación, se ha tomado como variable proxi la misma, para asociar con la tenencia y las condiciones de la vivienda. El alcance es descriptivo y correlacional y el diseño longitudinal.Los resultados obtenidos indican que: desde 2003 a 2011 la razón quinto quintil/primer quintil (es decir la diferencia entre el 20% más rico y el 20% más pobre) en la distribución del ingreso pasó de 15:1 a11:1. A nivel país el porcentaje de viviendas creció en un 21%, aumentando proporcionalmente las casas con piso de mosaico, baldosa, madera, cerámica o alfombra, provisión de agua dentro de la vivienda e inodoros con arrastre de agua, disminuyeron las casillas y las viviendas con paredes de adobe (ranchos). En los aglomerados disminuyó el porcentaje de propietarios y aumentó el de inquilinos yde ocupantes sin permiso.Si se refiere a los aglomerados urbanos, se observan mejoras en el material de piso de la vivienda, las categorías más bajas se dan en la región Norte del país. Casi la tercera parte de las viviendas posee como cubierta de techo la chapa de zinc, más del 85% de los techos poseen cielorraso.Las proporciones en la provisión de agua de red pública, por cañería dentro de la vivienda, los baños dentro de la vivienda y los inodoros con mochila/botón o cadena sobrepasan el 90%. El desagüe a cloaca se halla alrededor del 76%.El análisis de factores evidencia que la tasa de mortalidad infantil forma un eje con indicadores de riesgo de vivienda tales como tipo de piso, hacinamiento, cielo raso, tenenciade agua y tipo de desagüe del inodoro.El país se particiona en tres clases, en la primera que corresponde a las provincias patagónicas y la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (CABA), se hallan las tasas más bajas de mortalidad infantil, y las mejores condiciones de vivienda. En esta primera clase se halla también San Luis, posiblemente por sus indicadores de vivienda. En la segunda clase se dan las peores condiciones de mortalidad infantil, con mayores condiciones de riesgo enlas viviendas y en la tercera clase se hallan aglomerados de desarrollo intermedio.
