The invention discloses a method for establishing a multi-agent model for residential area selection. The method comprises the following steps: establishing an adaptive behavior model of a household agent in a residential site selection process, and setting the household agent, wherein each household agent has the following attributes: age, marriage status, members, deposit, income and vehicles; wherein each household intelligent agent has seven life cycle stages: birth, marriage, child tending, child leaving home, retirement, elderly people alone and death; judging the satisfaction degree ofthe home agent to the current address. For each family agent, when a family is moved, the family agent must be based on the necessity of a new life stage. Different facilities of the residential areaare compared to adapt to new places to input city information and family information. Parameters are adjusted, and the selection of resident living site selection is judged. The model can simulate theresident residence relocation process under the influence of urban central area residence lifting policies.
