Abstract Housing price are a hot topic of social concern and a crucial factor influencing the settlement and well-being of the floating population. This study examines 41 cities in the Yangtze River Delta region from 2012 to 2018. By employing exploratory spatial data analysis, we investigate the spatial correlation between urban housing prices and the willingness of floating population to reside in specific areas. Through the utilization of spatial panel econometric models and geographically and temporally weighted regression (GTWR) models, we reveal the overall impact and spatial heterogeneity patterns of urban housing price on the settlement intentions of the floating population. The findings are as follows: 1) Housing price in the Yangtze River Delta region exhibit an "east high, west low" pattern, while the settlement intentions of the floating population show a "west high, east low" pattern. Both housing price and settlement intentions demonstrate an upward trend, with increased spatial disparities in housing price and reduced spatial disparities in settlement intentions. 2) There is a strong positive spatial correlation between urban housing price and the settlement intentions of the floating population. However, a significant negative spatial correlation exists between the two factors. 3) Urban housing price have an overall negative impact on the settlement intentions of the floating population. 4) Stable housing price contribute to an increase in the settlement intentions of the floating population, whereas rapid increases in housing price hinder such intentions.
