The Housing in Europe – 2025 edition interactive publication provides a wide range of statistics on living conditions and housing markets across European Union countries. It highlights significant differences in how people live in terms of dwelling types, ownership status and household size. For example, in 2024 around 68% of the EU population owned their home while 32% were renters, and the average household had about 2.3 persons. 

Data on housing quality show variation in living space and occupancy levels: on average there were 1.7 rooms per person in 2024, and 17% of people lived in overcrowded homes, while 33% lived in under-occupied ones. Around 9% of the population could not adequately heat their homes. 

The publication also includes information on discrimination when searching for housing, with nearly 6% reporting experiences of discrimination in their search. Differences in housing costs and affordability are depicted, including the share of income spent on housing and the share of households in arrears on rent or mortgage payments. 

An environmental perspective is included, showing household emissions related to energy use. The interactive format allows exploration of these indicators and comparisons between countries, offering a detailed statistical basis for understanding housing conditions and trends across the EU.
