Although the problem of lack of housing and its supply has always been as one of the significant problems of urban societies in our country, the issue the produced residential units in general, and their area in particular, to what extent is compatible with the accessibility of the households, has received less attention. The consequences is increasing in the rental rate and the share of empty houses in the total housing inventory. With this explanation, the aim of the research is, firstly, to estimate the housing accessibility of households according to income deciles in cities of Qazvin province and secondly, to check its compliance with the area of produced residential units based on the data of 2015-2017. For this purpose, using quantitative and analytical-descriptive research method, the average area that is affordable by households has obtained according to income deciles through the estimation of their savings rate and their economic ability to use bank resources was obtained and have been compared with the average area of produced residential units in The cities between 2010-2016. The results show that the changes in the area of produced residential units is in conflict with the housing affordability of households. The average area of them is affected by the market forces has distanced from the average economic ability of households. While the increase in housing prices has caused households be able to own housing with a smaller area compared to the past, the area of new residential units produced by the market has also increased. Also, due to the fact that the minimum area of the supplied units is around 50 square meters, there is no corresponding supply in the housing market for the first three to four deciles that can afford units less than this area in almost all cities.
