Sammanfattning:The ownership of housing has been considered a fundamental factor for households to experience processes of economic and social development. In this way, it is assumed that the possession of this property can generate both material and subjective positive effects in households: its access would, on the one hand, transform their assets into wealth and, on the other, would affect the self-perception it has in its scale of social ascent. This article addresses the influence of the type of housing possession in the socioecono- mic self-classification of Ecuadorian households. Using the 2011 Socioeconomic Level Stratification Survey, a bivariate analysis is proposed to check whether the property or not of the house affects the self stratification carried out by Ecuadorian households on their socioeconomic level. It concludes that although both variables are related, the intensity of their relationship is very weak, which is why it is necessary to discuss the limits of home ownership in order to define the stratification experiences and the ascending social mobility of households.
