      Who has made these reports because they seem like bullshit to me

      Isn’t disposable income the money you have after paying for essentials?

      That obviously does not include rent which can be 50 / 60 %

      Surely to do with the fact that Irish people are living at home with parents longer due to a lack of affordable housing?

    5. TomRuse1997 on

      People living at home with their parents, a high amount of home ownership offsetting the insane rents. These skew the data.

      Don’t think this data displays anything meaningful about reality.

      a weird statistic because I assume some of housing cost is building equity at a higher rate whereas we may be spending more of it on rent

      Jesus this is a jarring stat. Someone smart needs to explain this. Does this mean that there are a lot of rich people screwing the numbers or what or is this assuming house hold income of a couple

      Owning or renting or both?

      Asset building is very different than money going to a landlord with one’s disposable income.

      There is a lower amount of renters in the total population in Ireland (30.2%), so the number is likely skewed. You can see this when you’re looking at the likes of Germany (50.9% of household rent) or Denmark (40.8%). The only oddity is Austria (45.8%) with a comparatively low disposable income percentage – I wonder what that’s about.

      What’s the definition for housing costs? What’s included?

      I’d be interested to see this corrected to remove or adjust those who rent a room from a family member

      Oh well, once we’re all screwed then it’s perfectly ok. It’s not a housing crisis, it’s just normal. I can’t imagine why I ever worried about it now.

      Ireland has a higher % of home ownership that many other EU countries and, therefore, a higher % of mortgage free home owners. Top line stats will tell you anything you want them to, the devil is in the detail.

      One problem here is that the services provided by taxation are very different between countries. Disposable income means something fundamentally different when there’s quality universal childcare, for instance.

      Just renters and excluding hap would be very interesting. Probably 40 – 50% of their disposable income
