Population growth and economic development can lead to increased housing demand amid limitations and rising land prices in the City of Semarang, Indonesia. One effort to overcome this challenge has involved shifting the approach to providing shelter to building vertical housing. However, various problems have emerged which suggest that vertical housing is not currently relevant to the socio-economic characteristics of its inhabitants. Thus, this study aims to determine the relevance of vertical housing to residents' socio-economic characteristics particularly in proximity of public facility aspects. To achieve the research objective, this research uses quantitative research method. Importance-performance analysis (IPA) uses to determine the relevance of vertical housing to residents' socio-economic characteristics and geospasial tools use to analyze descriptively the proximity of public facilities. Based on the relevance analysis, it can be concluded that the relevance between residents in apartments and residents in flats has some differences. This could happen because of differences in the location and financial capability of residents in apartment and flat. Performance improvement is needed, especially on economic factors for apartments and accessibility factors for low-cost flats so that vertical housing can become more relevant. Therefore, these findings can become input in formulating a policy for providing affordable vertical housing in the Semarang that is well-suited to the socio-economic characteristics of its inhabitants. © 2023 Institute of Physics Publishing.
