Abstract: The development of housing in Czech cities in the second half of the 20th century was significantly influenced by the period of socialism. Until the end of the 1980s, prefabricated panel housing estates were built, which still form a very distinctive element of the urban structure of cities. What is the real development of the population in these housing estates, what is its potential and what can it mean for the future? The aim of the article is to find answers to these questions based on the analysis of trends in the development of demographic parameters of selected housing estates in the post-industrial city of Brno, which can be a good example of a continuously transforming city without major social upheavals. The analysis of the housing estates is compared with different reference locations (the historic core, the 19th century buildings around Veveří Street and Cejl Street), and then with the whole city of Brno and the Czech Republic. The article works with data obtained from the 2001, 2011 and 2021 censuses, traces the trend in population development, the ageing of the population expressed as a percentage of the population aged 65+ to the population aged 0-14 (the so-called age index) and the trend in the development of education, specifically the proportion of people with more than primary education. Demographic indicators can reflect the attractiveness of housing for different groups of residents in a particular location and can indicate its future development. Most of the monitored housing estates reflect some trends in the development of the demographic structure of the city of Brno – the growth of education and the ageing of the population after 2001 (in the city it lasted until 2011). In this sense, housing estates represent a rather standard residential structure with all its manifestations and needs. The representation of people with higher education than primary education in the settlements in 2021 was also approximately the same as the Brno average and similarly for the other reference locations, but overall, always slightly higher than the national average. A negative phenomenon is that the population in most of the monitored housing estates is steadily decreasing compared to the city of Brno. It confirms the good, different position of the Lesná Housing Estate, which in its demographic development is more similar to two selected locations in the city centre – around Veveří Street and the historical centre.
