Abstract
Official statistics show that the housing situation in many countries of the world, including Iran, cannot be defended. Despite global issues in the field of housing and the environment, the necessity of developing "sustainable affordable housing" has been widely accepted among urban thinkers.

In this research, the aim is to investigate sustainable affordable housing indicators in different urban areas. Using Cochran's formula, the number of samples in various locations is determined and finally, sampling is done using the systematic sampling method. The validity of satisfaction questionnaires that include the perceptions section has been confirmed by 5 professors and its reliability has been measured using Cronbach's alpha. The resulting studies show that 36 quantifiable indicators in the field of attaining affordable housing can be identified from various articles using the synthesis method, and by examining them in different planned areas, the program unplanned and old in the city of Urmia, it can be concluded that Urmia's neighborhoods with an average score of 3.87 have a good status in the social sector and with an average score of 2.23 in the economic sector, they have an unfavorable situation and the environmental indicators and Physically, they have different statuses between the localities and have marked the differences.
