Please note that, at least in the Balkans where I am from, a massive % comes from adults still living with their parents. The information that this map may present could be the complete opposite of what it SHOULD present.

Fake. You are living in your own home, if you rent.

92% in Hungary, no way. People renting flats illegally so owners can avoid paying taxes so everyone is living officially at their parents address.

I am saying this every time I see this map and I am going to say it again-
in Slovakia it is common to have the address registered at your parents until you get your own place. My siblings and I were living away from our parents since university but we were registered there even when we worked on the other side of the country and renting a flat.
In nordics I know it is common to change your id when you move to dorm, even if you switched to a room next door you would have to change it. That’s why the % are like this.

I’m pretty sure these are households, not individual home owners.

Its also mortgage not owning it outright.

I’m not registering to a site just to see how they fucked up the data.
This map is flat out wrong.

In Denmark its pretty normal for middle-class or better off parents to take on the first loan-mortgage of their adult kid’s first house purchase. Since the Parent would likely get a better deal on interests payments with the bank, and then do a “parents purchase” -where the parents technically owns the house and has a loan with the bank, until the adult child pays that off over time to their parent.

This is like map of “how far in full capitalism in the EU you are.”
Italy is suspect as hell though – the average age of leaving home is 30. You’re not a homeowner if you live with mom and dad. 😀

Balkans has a massive housing crisis with Western-like price tags and poor salaries. These numbers are misleading. Cross-reference them with the age adults leave their parent’s home and you’ll see the extent of crisis
7th richest country in the world per capita, yet people can’t afford owning homes.
I know some guys, that inherited their parent mortgage and never pay it as income tax becomes unaffordable, yet for ultra wealthy individuals taxes are a tiny portion of their expenses.
The irony… and Norway which is slightly richer has such a massive ownership rate.

Why is Germany so low?
Edit: why am I getting downvoted for asking a question?

does renting count? It’s not technically the same as living in your own home

Germany was bombed in rubbles in 1945. It was more important to build apartment blocks than individual houses. These statistics never tell you the reason for their numbers.

Load of BS. 1.) Hungary 92%, really? REALLY? The sentiment among people in 20s and 30s is that they are never going to be able buy homes and many in their 40s and 50s are also renting right now. 60-70% would be somewhat believable (not necessary true), but 92% is just nonsense. 2.) “How many Europeans are homeowners” and “% of population living in their own homes” is not the same. Very misleading. 3.) Should we really believe that the Swiss have a much lower rate of home ownership than the Balkans and Central Europe?
I think it’s best we just burn this map and never speak of it again.

So as Roumanian, if you own your home you can drink 17l of pure alcohol per year, that’s what I got from EU statistics – or it’s viceversa?

Owning your home is incentivized in Norway, you get tax breaks. If you live in a bigger city, it’s pretty much seen as the safest investment.

The 2 largest by land countries in Europe are not included.
Nor is the largest European Country by population.
Turkey is included.

In Italy the rate of 40-year-olds owning their own property is no higher than in Germany. Only “living with mom” for a very long time ensures a very high rate of property ownership.

#In Romania, 94% of homes are private property and the rest of 6% is state property.
#This doesn’t mean that 94% of the population owns a home. Not in the least.
**I hate this stupid map.**
Yes, in Romania there are many homeowners because after the fall of communism many people were able to buy their homes from the state.

This map is absolute horse shit.
69% of Irish people live in their own home? Who the fuck made this map?
I’m renting, my mother is renting, my father is homeless, uncle is homeless, sister is renting, brother has a mortgage. Even from that one small anecdotal example we have ONE homeowner who just began paying off his mortgage, that’s a max of 20% home ownership.
This is some bullshit propaganda piece.

Some surprising numbers here — I thought a few of these countries would be higher.

No way for Belgium 70%?
Don’t know what the guys that did this graph are smoking but it seems good.
