Nel 2024, il 16,9% delle persone nell’UE viveva in famiglie sovraffollate. La Romania ha riportato la quota più alta (40,7%), seguita da Lettonia (39,3%), Bulgaria (33,8%), Polonia (33,7%) e Croazia (31,7%), mentre i tassi di sovraffollamento più bassi si sono verificati a Cipro (2,4%), Malta (4,4%) e Paesi Bassi (4,6%).

A person is considered as living in an overcrowded household if the household does not have at its disposal a minimum number of rooms equal to:
* one room for the household;
* one room per couple in the household;
* one room for each single person aged 18 or more;
* one room per pair of single people of the same gender between 12 and 17 years of age;
* one room for each single person between 12 and 17 years of age and not included in the previous category;
* one room per pair of children under 12 years of age.
Buying a home is unachievable for most of the millenials and younger. More obvious info at 11
How could have a divided nation island aka in open frozen conflict and border dispute with Turkey, like Cyprus become part of the EU is beyond me.
Wild how Romania and Latvia are basically 10x Cyprus. I wonder how much is culture (multigenerational living) vs pure poverty. Would be cool to see urban vs rural breakdown.
Romanians who at the same time have high ownership of their houses and have the highest share of overcrowded households and have like 25% of their population outside of the country.
There was a post about how Romania has the highest homeownership rate.
I think we may be moving too much in the other direction though… The amount of households consisting of just 1 person is also rising, I’ve seen a number of 30%. More and more flats and houses are also being built for just 1 person…
I am living alone currently, but I think I’d much prefer having a big family, all around. If there is enough space of course.
in Poland currently 65sq m, 2 bedroom flat is considered big, family size, at the maximum financial reach of most families. Homes are beyond most people capabilities. I live in such overcrowded flat, 4 people on 68sq meters. No alternatives really
It will get worse and worse as the rich continue to buy all the assets, credit the state with funds through bonds (which the state pays by raising taxes on the working class) and rent housing to the poor further enriching themselves in the process and buying even more assets, making housing prices sky rocket and become even less affordable to ordinary people and the cycle continues. Living standards will continue to diminish for average Europeans until asset wealth over a certain value (10M or so) is heavily discouraged through taxation.
