On the other hand, the housing sector as a macro-economic variable is influenced by oil revenues. The present research has investigated the connection between oil revenues and housing prices and their impact in two peripheral areas around the city of Tehran in the periods from 2001-2002 to 2021-2022. In the first phase of the research, the effect of oil revenues on housing prices has been calculated through a correlation test. In the second phase, the effect of housing price and rent on the rate of population growth in marginal areas has been calculated through the correlation test. The current research is of a quantitative, statistical and documentary type and is based on the hypothesis of the Dutch disease in countries with natural resources. The results of the research demonstrate that the effect of oil revenues on housing prices is positive, and its coefficient is 0.332. And the effect of housing prices on the rate of increase of the population in Morteza Gerd and Qiamdasht areas is also positive, and the coefficient of its impact on the two regions is 0.971 and 0.991, respectively. According to the results obtained in the mentioned years, with the increase in oil revenues, the price of housing increased, and as a result, the level of marginalization of people has also increased in marginal areas.
