             abstract = "Household structure has been recognized as an important element of 
                         residential location choice. The aim of this work is to understand 
                         how the spatial configuration resulting from these location 
                         choices could cause differentials in terms of urban life and 
                         opportunities. To do so, a weighted gravitational accessibility 
                         index is applied to the Sao Paulo Metropolitan Area to investigate 
                         the differences among household structures to distinct types of 
                         accessibility (jobs, education and leisure). The results point to 
                         a high disparity between accessibility levels, especially in the 
                         accessibility to jobs. The household size plays an important role, 
                         with lower accessibility levels associated with more members in 
                         the household. The study shows that the house-hold composition 
                         also has impacts on accessibility and that higher deprivation 
                         levels affect single-parent households.",
