Habitação na Europa

«In the EU27, housing conditions differ considerably between Member States. These differences can be seen both in the type of housing in which people live and in the housing problems they encounter. On average in the EU27 in 2009, 42% of the population1 lived in a flat, 34% in a detached house2 and 23% in a semi-detached or terraced house2. Of the EU27 population, 18% lived in an overcrowded dwelling3, while 16% lived in a dwelling where a leaking roof or damp were perceived as a problem, 7% considered their dwelling to be too dark, 4% had no indoor flushing toilet and 3% no bath or shower.

These figures on housing conditions are published in a report from Eurostat:
